🕯️Step into the stillness and light of the Great Easter Vigil at Holy Trinity Cathedral at 8pm. 🕯️

Beginning in darkness, this ancient and powerful liturgy traces the story of salvation through scripture and music, before moving into the first celebration of Easter. The lighting of the new fire, the Paschal candle, and the return of light to the Cathedral mark the turning point from Good Friday to the joy of the Resurrection.

This is one of the most moving and symbolic services of the Christian year.

Join us as we keep watch, reflect, and celebrate the risen Christ.
