April 19, 8:30 pm
This is most solemn night of the Christian year. It begins with the kindling of the New Fire, the chanting of the Exsultet (the Church’s ancient proclamation of Easter), lessons from the Hebrew bible, and Baptisms. Then the Bishop gives the Proclamation of the Resurrection, the great doors of the cathedral nave open, and we celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter. The service will include musical contributions from the Senior Choristers, the Cathedral Schola, and the Cathedral Choir.
This service will be livestreamed.
Incense is used.
