The Great Vigil of Easter is the official beginning of the Easter season and a favorite service of many. Featuring the lighting of the Paschal fire, stirring stories from the Hebrew Bible, the renewal of our Baptismal Vows, and the first “Alleluia” of Easter, it is the most dramatic liturgy of the year. Bring bells and noisemakers or have them at the ready! The Reverend Canon Stephanie Spellers, Assisting Priest, will preach, and music will be offered by the St. Bart's Singers, St. Bartholomew's Choir, and artists from Imagine Worship NYC. A festive reception follows.
