The service comes in 4 parts:

Service of Light: the Paschal (or Easter) Candle is lit, symbolizing Christ, the light of the world. We share in that light by lighting our own candles.

Service of Lessons: we hear how God saved his people in ages past and respond with songs and prayers. That culminates in the Acclamation that “Jesus is risen!” which is shouted and celebrated.

Baptism: we renew our baptismal vows.

Communion: we celebrate the victory of Life over Death in this holy feast and continue the celebration with singing and dancing.
