SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 8:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed
This is most solemn night of the Christian year. It begins in the cathedral nave with the kindling of the New Fire, the chanting of the Exsultet (the Church’s ancient proclamation of Easter), lessons from the Hebrew Bible, and baptisms by candlelight. Then the Bishop gives the Proclamation of the Resurrection, the great doors of the nave open, and we celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter.
