The congregation gathers in entry. Those who do not wish to process into the church may be seated. Those processing are given candles to be lit later from the paschal candle. The paschal candle is a sign of the presence of the risen Christ among us.

Series: Easter Vigil, Service of Light, Triduum
Speaker: Pastor James Enderle
Topic: baptism, Creation, Deliverance, Fiery Furnace, Flood, Holy Communion, Israel, Red Sea
In the early church the Easter Vigil was when the catechumens were baptized and received their first Communion. Baptism remains a central focus in the Vigil today. Even when there are no baptisms the congregation takes the time to remember their own baptism into Christ’s death and resurrection. The service traditionally was held late at night so that the pastor’s statement, “Alleluia! Christ is Risen” and the people’s response would be at midnight.
