The Easter Exultant is sung at the beginning of the Easter Vigil. It is also called the Easter Proclamation because it tells the story of creation, Adam & Eve, all the way through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ...Our Savior, who's resurrection we celebrate at the Easter Vigil. The Exultant has two MOST IMPORTANT WORDS...Happy Fault!!!. This refers to the Garden of Eden and the fall of Adam & Eve for without this Happy Fault we would never have known Jesus as the Son of God coming to earth to give His life for our salvation.
It is not sung on Holy Saturday until the Easter Vigil Mass that evening;then it is sung after the reading of the Epistle
The Easter Vigil
No, but Easter is, so you can go to mass at the Vigil and have your Easter obligation fulfilled.
Water is used in the Easter Vigil to baptize the new members of the church.
Everywhere! That is why it is called a vigil.
The Easter Candle
During the Easter Vigil, the bells traditionally begin to ring again after the Gloria is sung, which occurs following the Liturgy of the Word. This moment marks the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, signaling a joyful return to the use of bells after their silence during Lent. The ringing of the bells serves as a joyful proclamation of Easter.
The Night Watch of the Resurrection is Holy Saturday, otherwise known as Easter Vigil, which occurs the night before Easter Sunday.
