Holy Saturday - Solemn Vigil of Easter

About This Event

Join us as we celebrate the Solemn Easter Vigil, the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ on Saturday 4th April. Mass begins at 8:00pm with the blessing of the Easter Fire and Paschal Candle. Those who can't be with us in person can join the live stream at maidenlane.org.uk/live "During the Easter Vigil, the Church reads the account of creation as a prophecy. In the resurrection, we see the most sublime fulfilment of what this text describes as the beginning of all things. God says once again: “Let there be light!” The resurrection of Jesus is an eruption of light. Death is conquered, the tomb is thrown open. The Risen One himself is Light, the Light of the world. With the resurrection, the Lord’s day enters the nights of history. Beginning with the resurrection, God’s light spreads throughout the world and throughout history. Day dawns. This Light alone – Jesus Christ – is the true light, something more than the physical phenomenon of light. He is pure Light: God himself, who causes a new creation to be born in the midst of the old, transforming chaos into cosmos." - Pope Benedict XVI
