Service of Light and Renewal of Baptismal Vows. Some traditions observe the Easter Vigil, a time of readings and reflection running from Saturday night to Sunday sun rise. The Service of Light is drawn from this tradition and is a time to mark Jesus’ transition from death to resurrection. In this service we will observe that transition from death to life. We also light the new Paschal candles which will be lit in the entrance hall and brought into the church to replace last year’s candles at the front, beside the communion table. As Easter Day was often the occasion when new converts were baptised, the Service of Light is now taken as the opportunity to renew baptismal vows.
