It's still just passing 8 p.m. on Easter Even here, but as we've got a service at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, I'm going to have an early night, so I'll wish you all a happy Easter now.

Happy Easter Vigil to all who wish to stay up late: When I came into the Roman Catholic Church via RCIA and my sister was baptized into the faith, it was the year 2000. I was at my desert parish for 28 baptisms as was my lovely bride. We had sandwiches for breakfast and went home at 3 AM! Dunno how late my sister was at her Northern California parish, nor do I know how late Z will be at her Anglican parish this evening.
That said, I am going to sunrise mass with a colleague from work on Sunday!

Mrs Cniht and the eldest Cnihtlet are out at the Vigil; I'm home with the small sleeping ones, so I'll take the opportunity to wish all you lovely shipmates a very happy Easter.
Now I'm off to find my copy of Handel's Messiah, and sing along to the Hallelujah chorus (but quietly, so as not to wake the children ![[Biased]](wink.gif) )
He is risen indeed!

Just home from a beautiful Easter Vigil and festive reception afterwards. Bittersweet moments. It is just five weeks since T passed away, and he was always the lead usher at the Vigil - and always the go-to guy for helping with the New Fire.
A happy and blessed Easter to all. Christ is risen indeed!

The new priest in charge of the little mission church we mostly go to arranged for vigil and mass last night and it was excellent though I could have done without the strobe lights on the stroke of midnight so I just closed my eyes until that bit was over. The church was PACKED with many standing outside. We didn't join in the candlelight procession around the village at 01.30.
We all slept late this morning.

We got back from the Vigil around 2:30 this morning. (It's 1030 now) and were filled with joy. The last thing we did was to parade the Risen Christ around the village to loud choral Alleluias and much ringing of every bell available (Sanctus and bell-tower).
I don't understand the Mass except at a gut level, but I follow along in my English-language missal
But I don't need a missal to shout "Christ is risen!"

Happy Easter! The sun broke through the clouds this morning sending beautiful rays through the darkness. And it's the start of summer time. Even though the weather is still cold, the long season of Lent is over and there is hope, and light in the world again.
Enjoy your day!

Just back from Easter morning Mass, good a capella singing in Xhosa and Sotho. Outside the church afterwards a crowd of small children were given what looked like unlimited quantities of chocolate Easter eggs, sticky fingers on car seats.
A happy and blessed Easter to all.

Got up this morning at four (just after the clocks had gone forward ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) ) to get to the Easter Liturgy at five - the Exultet in the dark nave lit only by the candles we all held, the light dawning outside, the first alleluias of Easter, the eucharist in the morning light, and then bacon butties and Buck's Fizz. Happy Easter!
