The first service of Easter begins at 7 pm in darkness and is illumined by the kindling of the new fire and the lighting of the Paschal candle. After the Easter proclamation (the Exsultet) is chanted, we read the ancient stories and prophecies of our forebears. We renew our baptismal vows, and celebrate our first Easter Eucharist.
