An Introduction to the Easter Vigil

In this video Gabriel and Pr. Seifferlein discuss the history of the Easter Vigil and the profound meaning of the service. Saints through the centuries gathered on Saturday evening to await the news that Christ had risen from the dead. As they were baptized, received Holy Communion, and heard the stories of God's deliverance now fulfilled in Jesus, they participated in the passing over from death to life. Containing 6 mini-services, the Vigil traces the story of God's redemption from the Garden of Eden to the fulfillment of the new creation in Christ's resurrection.
