414. The Easter Vigil Revisited: Photo-reportage

As it may be inferred from the title this is one of a series of titles which will cover the recent events of Holy Week.

This is not Westminster Cathedral or the Vatican but a tiny Parish Church at the foot of the Alpines in Northern Italy whose parishioners have just lost their parish priest of nine years (see link below) and are depending on those priests, who posted elsewhere, come back to their native village to see their families for the holidays.

The Easter Vigil Revisited Jesus is resurrected and as Pope Francis says, let us not be afraid of this joy.

The fire from which the paschal candle is lit-
symbol of Christ

 

 

The priest lights the paschal candle saying:
 “May the light of Christ, gloriously risen,
disperse the shadows of the heart and soul.”

 

 
 

 
 

Death of our Parish Priest
