The Easter Vigil is a significant liturgical celebration in the Christian tradition, marking the transition from Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday. It typically takes place after sunset and is the first celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. The vigil includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, readings from the Bible, and the singing of hymns, creating a solemn yet hopeful atmosphere. During the vigil, many churches also perform baptisms and confirmations, welcoming new members into the faith. This ceremony symbolizes the renewal of life and the triumph of light over darkness, reflecting the core message of Easter.
