<description><![CDATA[The Vigil of Easter is a Celebration of the Risen Christ. The Easter festival is kept in many different ways among Western Christians. The traditional, liturgical observation of Easter, as practiced among Anglicans begins on the night of Holy Saturday with the Easter Vigil. This, the most important liturgy of the year, begins in total darkness with the blessing of the Easter fire, the lighting of the large Paschal candle (symbolic of the Risen Christ) and the chanting of the Exsultet or Easter Proclamation attributed to Saint Ambrose of Milan. After this service of light, a number of readings from the Old Testament are read; these tell the stories of creation, the sacrifice of Isaac, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the foretold coming of the Messiah. This part of the service climaxes with the singing of the Gloria and the Alleluia and the proclamation of the Gospel of the resurrection. A sermon may be preached after the gospel. Then the focus moves from the lectern to the font. Anciently, Easter was considered the most perfect time to receive baptism, as it is the time when new members are initiated into the Church. Whether there are baptisms at this point or not, it is traditional for the congregation to renew the vows of their baptismal faith. This act is often sealed by the sprinkling of the congregation with holy water from the font. The Catholic sacrament of Confirmation is also celebrated at the Vigil. The Easter Vigil concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist (or 'Holy Communion').]]></description>

The fire from the Easter Candle was passed to every person, representing Jesus Christ's passing of His grace and His life to all people. The individual candles stayed lit through the reading of the Old Testament lessons: the Story of Creation in Genesis 1:1-2:2; of Israel's deliverance at the Red Sea in Exodus 14: 10-15:1; that Salvation is offered freely to all in Isaiah 55:1-11, and the story of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37:1-14.]]></description>
