In the Church of England, Easter Saturday, also known as Holy Saturday, is marked with an Easter Vigil. This service, which begins on the evening of Holy Saturday and often extends into Easter Sunday morning, is a celebration of the anticipation of Christ's resurrection and the triumph of light over darkness. It includes symbolic acts like the lighting of candles from a fire, representing the light of Christ, and readings from the Bible. 

Easter Vigil
The Easter Vigil is the first service of Easter and marks the transition from the solemnity of Holy Saturday to the joy of Easter Sunday. 

Symbolism
The lighting of the Easter candle, lit from a fire and brought into a darkened church, represents the resurrection of Christ. 

Readings
The service includes readings from both the Old and New Testaments, which recount the history of salvation and prepare the congregation for the celebration of the resurrection. 

Renewal of Promises
Participants often renew their baptismal promises during the Easter Vigil. 

Service of Light
The Easter Vigil is also known as a "Service of Light" because it proclaims the resurrection of Christ from the dead in word and action. 

Time of Celebration
Some churches celebrate the Easter Liturgy as one service throughout the night, beginning on the evening of Holy Saturday and reaching its climax at dawn. 

Details of when the service is held will be announced in The Grapevine and on Social Media at the appropriate time.
