The Blessing of food at Easter is a long standing tradition in many countries.
The food included usually consisted of the breakfast
that you would serve on Easter morning.
When preparing the basket, it is first lined with a linen or lace cloth napkin whose ends extend beyond the basket rim,
So the Easter food can be covered while transporting it. The cloth/napkin symbolizes the shroud in which Jesus’ body was wrapped.
Where: Behind the Church, in the prayer garden
When: Holy Saturday, 2 pm
What to put in your basket:
Hard boiled Easter eggs, sausage or ham, bread or rolls, horseradish, small bottle of vinegar, salt, pepper, A Easter cake,
Maybe a bottle of wine or other spirits may be included, Easter butter lamb, or made from candy.
The basket is uncovered for the blessing by the Deacon using Holy water, prayers are said, and you will be given a list of other items
And the reasons for their use.

the feast of eternal light.
Paschal Candle
And while there are many symbols, the primary visual symbol at the Easter Vigil is the Paschal candle, the symbol of
Christ himself, risen triumphantly from the dead, shining as the True Light to the nations. The tradition of a large candle
as the symbol of Christ and of purity is seen as the symbol of the Resurrection. There are many rituals associated with the
preparation of this candle as well. A cross is scored into the candle wax with a stylus, marking this as the sign of victory...
above and below the cross are marked an Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. In the corners
defined by the cross are marked the four numerals of the current year. In Christ’s journey from eternity to eternity, we are
privileged each year to rejoice again at his supreme miracle of redemption and resurrection. Finally, five grains of incense
are inserted at the center and arms of the inscribed cross and held in place by wax nails, honoring Christ’s five wounds.
Sacrifice and pain is a reality, even in glory.
At a certain place in the Liturgy, the Paschal candle leads the faithful into the
church for prayer, readings, initiation and Eucharist. This where we as a
community join in the procession from outside to inside the Church and
take our seats...during this procession, there is the acclamation of Christ as
our Light, each time more intense and higher in pitch, to which we respond,
“Thanks be to God!” The highpoint of this Service of Light at the beginning of
the Vigil is the Easter Proclamation (often called Exsultet from its first word
in Latin). This is a glorious text, often sung to an ancient melody. An accurate and inspiring rendition is the goal of every
Easter Vigil service.
Bells
Bells, which have not been heard since the Gloria of the Mass on Holy Thursday, are rung at the Gloria of the Easter Vigil.
Bells have a very hallowed place among the musical symbols used by the Church. There is even a very privileged pontifical
ceremony for their blessing. The bishop first washes the bell in holy water, then it is anointed inside and out with oil. Tower
bells are traditionally given names of saints and their use lends a decidedly sacred tone to the ceremonies of the Vigil. So
bring your bells on Easter Vigil and be a part of this glorious and most excellent celebration of the Resurrection of the
Lord...Gloria to God in the Highest...
The meaning of Palm Sunday
The triumphal entry of Jesus coming into Jerusalem is what we know as Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter
Sunday. And it's also interesting to note that the story of the triumphal entry is one of the few incidents in the life
of Jesus which appears in all four Gospel accounts. Putting the four accounts together, it becomes clear that the
triumphal entry was a significant event, not only to the people of Jesus’ day, but to Christians throughout history.
We celebrate Palm Sunday to remember that momentous occasion.
On that day, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a borrowed donkey’s colt, one that had never been ridden
before. The disciples spread their cloaks on the donkey for Jesus to sit on, and the multitudes came out to welcome Him, laying before Him their cloaks and the branches of palm trees. The people hailed and praised Him
as the “King who comes in the name of the Lord” as He rode to the temple, where He taught the people, healed
them, and drove out the money-changers and merchants who had made His Father’s house a “den of robbers”.
Jesus’ purpose in riding into Jerusalem was to make public His claim to be their Messiah and King of Israel
in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that the King coming on the foal of
a donkey was an exact fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9, where it is written, “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on
a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Jesus rides into His capital city as a conquering King and is hailed by
the people as such, in the manner of the day. He receives the worship and praise of the people because only He
deserves it. No longer does He tell His disciples to be quiet about Him, but to shout His praises and worship Him
openly. The spreading of cloaks was an act of homage for royalty and with this act, Jesus was openly declaring to
the people that He was their King and the Messiah they had been waiting for.
Unfortunately, the praise the people lavished on Jesus was not because they recognized Him as their Messiah.
They welcomed Him out of their desire for a deliverer, someone who would lead them in a revolt against Rome.
There were many who, though they did not believe in Christ with a spiritual faith, nevertheless hoped that
perhaps He might be to them a great warrior...a deliverer. These are the ones who hailed Him as King with their
many Hosannas, recognizing Him as the Son of David who came in the name of the Lord. But when He failed
in their expectations, when He refused to lead them in a massive revolt against the Roman occupiers and those
who collaborated with them, the crowds quickly turned on Him. Within just a few days, their Hosannas would
change to cries of “Crucify Him!”...as those who hailed Him as a hero would soon reject and abandon Him.
The story of the triumphal entry is the story of the King who came as a lowly servant on a donkey, not a prancing
steed, not in royal robes, but on the clothes of the poor and humble. Jesus Christ comes not to conquer by force
as earthly kings, but by love, grace, mercy, and His own sacrifice for His people. His is not a kingdom of armies
and splendor, but of lowliness and servant-hood. He conquers not nations, but hearts and minds. His message
is one of peace with God, not of temporal peace. If Jesus has made a triumphal entry into our hearts, He reigns
there in peace and love. As His followers, we exhibit those same qualities, and the world sees the true King living
and reigning in triumph in us. Glory to God in the Highest...

Símbolos en la Vigilia de Pascua
A medida que nos acercamos la más alto Día Santo de la Iglesia podemos preguntarnos cuáles son algunos de los signos y
símbolos en la liturgia significa... vamos a experimentar esto en la Misa de la Vigilia Pascua cuando vemos el “fuego nuevo”
iluminado... cuando somos testigos de la “Vela Pascual Gloriosa” y cuando escuchamos el sonido de las campanas en la
Gloria... todo esto nos habla en un nivel profundo - hablar sin palabras - hablando directamente al corazón.
La Gran Vigilia de Pascual, es la más excelente celebración de todo el año cristiano. Hay muchos símbolos asociados con
esta solemnidad, algunos oficiales, algunos de tradición, pero todos ellos nos ayudan a rodear la celebración con un significado profundo, y para hacerlo se arraigue en nuestros corazones.
Fuego Nuevo
El símbolo aquí es el fuego, una antigua fuerza que significa purga, el celo, el poder y el temor. El fuego debe ser de madera
y / o carbón; y de ella se encendió tanto el cirio pascual y el carbón vegetal para el incensario (incensario). La llama debe
ser encendida por la chispa de un pedernal... como la iluminación natural parece mucho más apropiada que otros medios.
Una pequeña llama no es lo que la ceremonia está enfocada, idealmente este rito tiene lugar afuera de la iglesia, y es seguida por una verdadera procesión (un “desfile santo”) en el santuario. La oración poderosamente dice así:
Hacer este nuevo fuego sagrado, y nos inflamar con una nueva esperanza. Purificar nuestras mentes por esta celebración de
la Pascua y nos lleve un día para la fiesta de la luz eterna.
Cirio Pascual
Y si bien hay muchos símbolos, el símbolo visual primario en la Vigilia de Pascua es el cirio pascual, símbolo de Cristo
mismo, resucitado de entre los muertos triunfalmente, brillante como la luz verdadera a las naciones. La tradición de una
gran vela como símbolo de Cristo y de la pureza es visto como el símbolo de la Resurrección. Hay muchos rituales relacionados con la preparación de esta vela también. Una cruz es visible en la cera de la vela, marcando esto como el signo de la
victoria... por encima y por debajo de la cruz se marcan un Alfa y la Omega, la primera y la última letra del alfabeto griego.
En las esquinas definidas por la cruz se marcan los cuatro números del año en curso. En el viaje de Cristo desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad, tenemos el privilegio de cada año para regocijarse de nuevo en su milagro supremo de la redención
y de la resurrección. Por último, cinco granos de incienso se insertan en el centro y los brazos de la cruz inscrita y mantienen en su lugar con clavos de cera, que honran cinco llagas de Cristo. Sacrificio y el dolor es una realidad, incluso en la
gloria.
En un determinado lugar en la Liturgia, el cirio pascual lleva a los fieles a la iglesia
para la oración, lecturas, el inicio y la Eucaristía. Aquí es donde nosotros, como
comunidad nos unimos a la procesión desde el exterior hacia el interior de la Iglesia
y
tomar nuestros asientos... durante esta procesión, está la aclamación de Cristo como
nuestra luz, cada vez más intensa y más profunda, al que respondemos “¡Gracias a
Dios!” El punto culminante de este Servicio de la Luz en el comienzo de la Vigilia es la Proclamación de Pascua (a menudo
llamado Exsultet desde su primera palabra en latín). Este es un texto glorioso, cantado a menudo a una antigua melodía.
Una interpretación precisa y estimulante es el objetivo de todos los servicios Vigilia de Pascua.
Campanas
Campanas, que no se han escuchado desde la Gloria de la Misa del Jueves Santo, cuando van pasando en el Gloria de la
Vigilia de Pascua. Las campanas tienen un lugar muy sagrado entre los símbolos musicales utilizados por la Iglesia. Hay incluso una ceremonia pontificia muy privilegiada por su bendición. Los obispos primero, lavan la campana en agua bendita,
a continuación, se unge dentro y por fuera con aceite. Tradicionalmente, las campanas de la torre se dan los nombres de los
santos, y su uso se presta un tono decididamente sagrado para las ceremonias de la Vigilia. Así que traiga sus campanas en
la Vigilia de Pascua y ser parte de esta celebración gloriosa y más excelente de la Resurrección del Señor ... Gloria a Dios en las Alturas ..
Reflecting on God’s Word
Someone once told me that people come to church on Palm Sunday because they get something. But I like to think that palm says
something they recognize as true.
“He emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human
likeness,” writes Paul, quoting the words of an early Christian
hymn. “He humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of
death, even death on a cross,” follow soon after (Philippians 2:7,
8). Emptying and humbling are the two key words embracing the
trajectory of the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God: from incarnation to passion and death.
He poured himself out for us and for our salvation, certainly
suffering physically—from the beating, the scourging, the crowning with thorns, being struck with a reed, spat upon, prodded,
pushed, and stumbling up the hill to Golgotha. Then he was
stretched out on a crossbeam, nailed to it, and lifted up, his body
suspended between heaven and earth. Finally, he suffocated, unable to raise himself to take in more air.
There was also the inner suffering of abandonment, of seeing his
disciples run off, of realizing that all those who had cried “Hosanna” a few days earlier had either been silent or had cried out,
“Crucify him.” Only the women had remained with him.
Today, when we take home a piece of palm, it invites us to prepare
to renew our baptismal promises on Easter. Then we can add our
voices to that solitary voice almost two millennia ago, saying,
“Truly, this is the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39).
