The Paschal Candle is lit from the fire that has just been blessed at the beginning of the Easter Vigil Liturgy. Light is the symbol of the risen Christ. Darkness of sin is overcomed just as light always dispell the darkness. Happy Easter everyone!!!

Rejoice, O heavenly powers. Sing choirs of angels. Exalt all creation around God's throne. Jesus Christ our Saviour is Risen! The first song (or more of a chant) sang before the beginning of the Liturgy of the Word during the Easter Vigil Liturgy. Every Easter Vigil Liturgy I attend I am reminded of the time when I used to chant this portion.

Consecration of the bread and wine. This part of the liturgy is not performed during Good Friday. All throughout the Lenten season, the Alleluia is also not sung. Consecration of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ is performed again during the Easter Vigil Liturgy
