The Paschal Vigil, also known as 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 on Holy Saturday and is the first celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. The vigil includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, readings from the Scriptures, and the baptism of new members into the faith. This ceremony is rich in symbolism and tradition, featuring four main parts: the Service of Light, the Liturgy of the Word, the Baptismal Liturgy, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Paschal Vigil emphasizes themes of light overcoming darkness and new life, reflecting the core beliefs of the Christian faith regarding resurrection and salvation.
