Saturday, March 26, 2016 - Holy Saturday
Vigil of Easter: 8:30 pm
Rom. 6:3-11; John 20:1-18

O Night brighter than day;
O Night brighter than the sun;
O Night whiter than snow;
O Night more brilliant than torches;
O Night more delightful than paradise;
O Night which knows not darkness;
O Night which has banished sleep;
O Night which has taught us to join vigil with angels;
O Night terror of demons;
O Night most desirable in the year
O Night of torchbearing of the bridegroom in the Church;
O Night when the devil slept and was stripped;
O Night in which the Inheritor brought the beneficiaries into their inheritance;
An inheritance without end.
            Asterius of Amasea,( d. 410), Easter sermon


  • Visit someone. Take them some hot cross buns for their Easter feast.
