Description
The Easter Eve Mass is the most important and meaningful celebration in the Christian calendar. It takes place on Saturday night and marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The ceremony begins in darkness, symbolizing death and waiting, before a new fire is lit and the Paschal candle is brought into the church to represent Christ as the light of the world. During the Mass, readings tell the story of salvation, from creation to the resurrection. The joyful singing of Alleluia and the lighting of candles create a powerful atmosphere of hope, renewal, and new life for the faithful.
