Holy Week in the Diocese of Salt Lake City - Easter Vigil

Friday, Apr. 09, 2021

“We began our celebration with the Service of the Light – the blessing of fire and the lighting of the Pascal candle. The Pascal candle represents Christ as the Light of the World, to dispel the darkness. The joyful song of exultation proclaims the Good News of our salvation. That is the clear message of the Lord’s Resurrection – the triumph of God’s power, love and mercy over darkness, sin and death.”  – Bishop Oscar A. Solis, Easter Vigil 2021
