The Easter Vigil commenced with the liturgy of light, during which the blessing of fire and the Paschal candle took place. The Paschal candle is a large candle symbolizing Christ and an important element of the liturgy.

Next, the ancient Gregorian chant Exsultet was performed, proclaiming the joyful news of the Lord's Resurrection. Following this, during the liturgy of the Word, the faithful reflected on the miracles God performed from the creation of the world for the salvation of humankind.
