The Easter Vigil
is
mass in which we commemorate Jesus for his great sufferings. He was crucified on
the cross so that we may one day spend all eternity with He and God. Most of the
time the service begins around seven o’clock and held inside the Church
structure with its people. For symbolic purposes, there is no Holy water; we are
instead blessed during the ritual itself in order to memorialize our vows, taken
at baptism. When mass initiates all lights have already been turned off,
everyone has instead been given a candle. This is then lit when the Pascal
candle has been lit. In the beginning, the congregation of the church comes to
the altar; they have the candle held sometimes upon there shoulder, and bring it
around the church. This is done in my parish where my pastor usually desires to
attain the largest candles, and according to the administrator, it is the
largest candle in America. While they haul this massive candle throughout the
church, the congregation resonate chants; these are used to praise God and Jesus
for his great love for us. When finishing its circumvention, it is brought
before the altar. When having reached the altar the candle is placed on a
pedestal and ignited. The flames from this candle are then shared with the whole
community, first given to the alter servers, which are then shared with everyone
else. Afterwards, the ordained read a story from the bible. Then the lights are
lit up and we are asked to extinguish the flames of our candles. The priests
rise once again and welcome us to the Easter vigil. We confess our sins like
every other mass and then recite the litany. The fore mass ends with the opening
prayer, or first oration.
