The Mother of All Vigils (Holy Saturday)

The cover of the missalette for Easter Vigil Mass, also known as the Mother of all Vigils here in the Philippines. The priest even referred to it as such during his homily.

The Vigil is about to begin.

Lighting the Easter candle.

With our lit candles at the beginning of Mass. (With the fans off, it got very hot very fast.)

Setting the sanctuary for Easter. The cross is unveiled and banners are hung and the altar is decorated with flowers.

Renewing our baptismal promises by the light of the Easter candle.

Earlier in the day…

Making brownies (3 trays!) for Easter Sunday lunch.

Percy after his annual Easter bath. Chilling on the clothesline.
