Celebration of the Easter Vigil

Celebration of the Easter Vigil with blessing of the food, followed by Easter breakfast/Easter dance at the European Monastery Gut Aich.

Holy Saturday is the day on which the Church commemorates the burial of Christ and awaits his resurrection, which is celebrated at Easter, with fasting and prayer. Holy Saturday ends with the beginning of the celebration of the Easter Vigil, which is already part of the Easter Sunday liturgy as a vigil. As the celebration of the Easter Vigil is a vigil that is to be held entirely in the dark, it begins in the late evening hours of Holy Saturday.
