The Great Vigil, when observed, is the first liturgy of Easter Day. It is celebrated at a convenient time between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter morning. It is appropriate that the service begin in darkness. The liturgy normally consists of four parts: Service of Light, Service of Lessons, Holy Baptism (or Renewal of Baptismal Vows), and Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the proper culmination of the Easter Liturgy. As we keep this holy feast, we share the joy of our Savior’s triumph and are strengthened by his grace to walk in newness of life.

We will join our sister parish, St. Ambrose Anglican, for this service of worship, meeting at their location on Capitol Hill (1200 10th Ave E, Seattle). Live-stream is available through St. Ambrose’s YouTube channel.
