Easter Sunday

Easter, All Saints Stock, lots of people, lots of singing, lots of chocolate, lots of incense, great, just great!

Many churches start Easter Sunday celebrations at Midnight on Easter Eve. Candles are used in churches all over the world to start the Easter Day Midnight celebrations.

In some churches, the service starts in darkness, twelve candles are lit and these are taken round the rest of the church lighting the other candles. When a candle is lit the Priest says 'Christ is Risen!' and the congregation respond 'He is Risen Indeed!'. In Greece, fireworks are sometimes used to start the service.

Churches are filled with flowers representing new life. Priests wear their best, brightest robes in celebrtion.
