The Easter Mass
- Rezurekcja
On Saturday evening or early Sunday morning before the Mass, a special service
is conducted in which the "grave" of Christ is blessed and the figure
of Christ is covered with a linen cloth. Then begins a long procession
with the Blessed Sacrament, in which are carried the paschal candle, the cross
of adoration vested in a red stole, and a statue of the resurrected Christ.
The traditional Easter hymn "Wesoly nam dzis dzien nastal" (A happy
day has dawned for us today) is sung, the Church bells peal forth, and all carry
lighted candles giving the impression of great illuminations commemorating the
return of the "Light of the World." |
