The light of the Easter Vigil represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the triumph of light over darkness. It is symbolized by the Paschal candle, which is lit during the service to signify the arrival of the risen Christ and the new life offered to believers. This light serves as a reminder of hope, renewal, and the promise of eternal life, illuminating the path of faith for the Christian community. Through this symbolism, the vigil celebrates the core message of Easter: the victory of life over death.
