The Easter Vigil Mass is probably the best mass of the year. For me it is anyway. If you have never experienced an Easter Vigil Mass, try it out this year. You will not be disappointed.
Nothing to add - just do the readings, or listen to the mp3. Happy Easter - spread the Good News!!!
Here's some music, depending on your taste. You can go with something more rocking
Something really joyful, rocking and global
or if you want a Gregorian Chant,
HAPPY EASTER !!!!
