Easter Sunday morning brought the continuation of the celebration of the resurrection of our Savior. Many of the rituals are similar to the Easter Vigil/Holy Saturday service of the night before. The Pascal Candle was again brought into the Church, the Exsultet (Easter Proclamation), Alleluias, and Glory to God were repeated. Daryl Whitley also sang the joyous "Oh Sons and Daughters" to heighten the joy of the day. The choir has returned from the increasingly somber sounds of lent and holy week to songs of rejoicing. Baptismal vows were renewed and the congregation sprinkled with holy water from the baptismal font. Lenten almsgiving cards were deposited by parishioners in a basket before the Easter Candle. As in the services on Holy Saturday, the Church is restored to the full Eucharistic celebration of the mass. Jesus is risen. Death is conquered Alleluia.
