The Easter Vigil is the third of the Easter Triduum including Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper, Good Friday of the Lord's Passion and Easter Vigil.
I celebrated the mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
The mass is very lengthy but this is because this is the Highest Feast of the Catholic Church and composed of several parts.
Blessing of the Fire.
Readings.
Baptism and Confirmation.

Mass Proper.
It was a very beautiful mass and the message of a New Life is well imparted by Archbishop Romulo Valles.
He reminded us of the three gifts the Lord has given us: the Eucharist, Priesthood of the ordained and of the people and the Holy Mass of the Resurrection.
By the way, Archbishop Valles will be transferred to the Archdiocese of Davao this May 2012.
Choir.
