mass
April 8, 2023
There is no Mass celebrated during the day on Holy Saturday. This absence of celebration reminds us that today we wait at the Lord’s tomb, meditating on his suffering and death.
But during the night, we anticipate his resurrection with one of the most ancient rites—a solemn vigil, leading into the celebration of Easter with a joy that overflows into the fifty days of celebration of the Easter Season.
The Easter Vigil is arranged in four parts: the Lucernarium, the Liturgy of the Word, the Baptismal Liturgy, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
