While the Vigil marks the end of the paschal fast, the end of the celebration of Holy Week, and the end of repentance and conversion for which Lent prepared the community, it is much more a beginning. It is the beginning of a new season of grace and a time of joy and thanksgiving, for Easter is not one day or one solemnity—it is a fifty day celebration, and the fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday together comprise what the General Instruction terms "the great Sunday." Bishop Zarama will celebrate the Easter Vigil Mass at 8:00pm at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. The Mass will be livestreamed from the diocesan YouTube channel.
