The New Fire of Easter is Lit

In the evening of Holy Saturday, as dusk is settling, Christians gather around a newly lit fire and recount the stories of their faith -- beginning with creation and leading all the way to the story of Jesus' ministry, arrest, crucifixion and ending (if you time it just right) with his Resurrection declared at midnight when the lights are turned on and the bells are rung and Easter arrives in all its glory!

Trudi asked if she could sing and film the opening prayers for the great Vigil of Easter so we did that. Thank you, Trudi, for offering this gift to our community.
