The most important day in the Catholic year and a celebration that goes back to the time of Christ, predating Christmas by hundreds of years. On this day Christ rose from the dead and showed himself to a select few.

A beautiful Mass in a beautifuly decorated Church. The Mass starts with the lighting of a fire at the back of the Church from which the incense and the Easter Candle, once it has been prepared, are lit. All the congregation carry candles which are lit from the same source. The readings are heard in candle light. The font and the water is blessed and then the congregation renew their Baptismal promises.

This is the day when Our Lord died on the Cross

On this day we remember the Last Supper where Jesus washed the feet of his Disciples. Some of the Congregation have their feet washed by the Priest

Palm Crosses were distributed and blessed during the Service today to remind us of the Palms that were layed down before Jesus as He entered Jerusalem. The Easter story of His trial and Crucifixion was also told.
