Easter Vigil

The Easter Vigil is a significant religious ceremony in Christianity, typically held on the night before Easter Sunday. It marks the transition from Holy Saturday to Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. The vigil begins in darkness, symbolizing the waiting for Christ's resurrection, and includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, representing the light of Christ. It features Bible readings recounting salvation history, the singing of hymns, and the baptism of new members into the church. This ceremony is a profound and joyful celebration of hope and new life in the Christian faith.
