The Great Vigil of Easter
Mar 27 @ 6:30 am – 7:30 am

The Great Vigil of Easter – St. Augustine first introduced the phrase, “The Paschal Mystery.” One theologian describes the Paschal Mystery as the saving event by which God in all times and in all places saves the human race. Epiphany will celebrate the Easter Vigil with a Sunrise Service beginning at 6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday morning. During the Easter Vigil, we recount the following sequence of events.

•The kindling of the new fire and the lighting of the Paschal (Easter) Candle.
•The recounting of Passover/Exodus from Egypt. And the entrance into the promised land.
•The service of Baptism and renewal of our own Baptismal vows.
•The First Joyful Eucharist of Easter.
