speaker_1HOST
¿Por qué? Porque celebrábamos el nacimiento del Redentor.
speaker_1HOST
Y sí o sí había que ir a la vigilia pascual.
speaker_1HOST
Y era de noche.
speaker_1HOST
Antes se celebraba también a las doce de la noche, pero había que ir porque se celebraba la victoria de Cristo sobre la muerte, la resurrección de nuestro Señor.
speaker_1HOST
Y su victoria es también la nuestra.
speaker_1HOST
Digo que desgraciadamente se va perdiendo estas costumbres porque ambas celebraciones, sobre todo la vigilia pascual, tiene una plasticidad que nos hace entender en qué consiste el misterio que celebramos.
speaker_1HOST
La vigilia pascual se inicia cuando se enciende el fuego fuera de la iglesia.
speaker_1HOST
Todo el templo está a oscuras.

And it's a reminder to us of what our faith is.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Last night at the Easter Vigil, by the way, we read all these readings in the Old Testament about how God responded and acted to the people of Israel and all of the Egyptians and how even it started with the creation.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
And all of it was all about how God blessed his people, how he touched his people, that he created us, all of us, to be with him.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
And what did we do? We fell.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
And he preached that all throughout his life.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
And he showed them at the very end.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
On the Easter Vigil, we also bring in new Catholics.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
We baptize several people at the Easter Vigil to remind ourselves this is how we become followers of Christ.
Keith NesterHOST
So you went through this RCIA kind of thing at school? Yeah, yeah.
Keith NesterHOST
And when you came into the church in 2018, did you come in here, or did you come in, I think you came in at the Easter Vigil, because I was there.
Gabe RizzioGUEST
It was actually, no, I actually came in in November, November 18th of 2018, and So this is, I had, I had started having private meetings, uh, with the same thing with father Chris.
Gabe RizzioGUEST
Yeah.
Isaac MoralesGUEST
Well, let's talk first about the experience, as you mentioned, um, There are very rare occasions when Catholics do encounter baptism.
Isaac MoralesGUEST
And when they do, it's usually seeing a baby have water poured over their head, or maybe every now and then at the Easter vigil, you might have an adult being baptized.
Isaac MoralesGUEST
So for that reason, I suspect, among others, Catholics probably don't think very much about their baptism, which is really a shame.
Isaac MoralesGUEST
And I'm a little bit embarrassed to say that I was like that even as recently as a few years ago.
Connor SterlingGUEST
My name's Connor Sterling.
Connor SterlingGUEST
I was... baptized at the Easter Vigil in 2026, so recently converted.
Connor SterlingGUEST
Great to be here.
Connor SterlingGUEST
So my childhood, what would you like to know most, I
Catherine KingsleyHOST
And Taylor, like I said, Taylor wrote this 20 years ago, and he says right at the end of this chapter, Like, in any case, we're just at the beginning of a new age of religious searching whose outcome no one can foresee.
Catherine KingsleyHOST
And I don't think he would have been able to foresee 20 years ago that in 2026 there would be, like, 21,000 new Catholics joining the church at the Easter Vigil in France.
Catherine KingsleyHOST
That something is happening and, like...
Catherine KingsleyHOST
in Western Europe, which is where a lot of people said the faith was dying.
Barrett MahoneyGUEST
It was like God was telling us we had to go.
Barrett MahoneyGUEST
So we go and we meet up with the girls and we end up going to the Easter vigil at Notre Dame, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world.
Barrett MahoneyGUEST
And mass ended at around 11.
Barrett MahoneyGUEST
So of course we had to go and have an Easter dinner.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
They are not yet admitted to to the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
But then fast forward to the Easter Vigil.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
After months or even years of preparation, the moment finally arrives.
Mike ScherschligtHOST
Those not yet baptized renounce Satan and are asked, do you believe in God, the Father Almighty? Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? I do, they respond.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
And it is basically what we hear on this day is the celebration of what we do during the Holy Week.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, which is the Triduum.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
and in that the triduum we help we hear we and understand that we celebrate the lord's supper in one not only in one that the whole three days is one long celebration we start as we normally start a mass and then we proceed to go with the on holy thursday celebrate the mass of the lord's supper uh and then we leave in silence We don't end the celebration, and it continues on Good Friday at 3 o'clock at the death of our Lord.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
And we come in in silence.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
We read the Passion once again and then celebrate the Eucharist that is reserved from on Holy Thursday and then venerate the cross and then leave once again in silence.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
At the Easter vigil, which, by the way, usually lasts about two and a half hours, so we'll expect you all to be there.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
But it is also at that Easter vigil we celebrate the aspect of light, where Jesus brings that light into the world by his death and his resurrection.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
And we recognize in that whole celebration the gift that Jesus gives us by his death and resurrection.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And I knew his family, his wife and his kids, and just what it did to them was devastating.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And that's the same time that I also had someone in my Sunday school class that invited me to her Easter vigil.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And I just went and I thought, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
Three hours long, all the incense, all the bells and smells and all the stuff, you know.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And I didn't understand any of it except for the three hours of scripture, you know.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
But it was very compelling in a way that I had like physically in a way I had never experienced before, although I didn't admit that.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And the two church splits combined with that Easter vigil sort of sent me to dig into Martin Luther and the Reformation.
Sonja CorbittGUEST
And what I found there was, hmm, this was a church split.
