So, the Easter Vigil is MUCH shorter if you only do three out of the seven readings before the gospel. :p I thanked the priest for it, because I was worried it was going to be a full three hours like at home. Not because of the length, but because that was going to cut it AWFUL close with the last bus of the night. :p Of course, I wound up getting a ride with an older couple at the church because they were worried about me having to wait alone in the dark. :p

Incidently, if you're going to go to a major mass with a slight headache, this is the one to go to. By the time they turned the lights on, I was fine. :p

It was really interesting seeeing what they did differently here. One really neat thing was that they brought the decorations up during the responsorial psalms between the readings. So after the first they brought up flowers, the second they brought back the candles that are usually by the altar and after the third people brought up water to fill the basin for the baptisms.

Seeing adult baptisms with a basin, I now understand why everyone at my parents' church was so excited when they built the font which is big enough to do immersion baptisms for adults. (There's a smaller font that pours into this that they use for babies).

Oh, and the music was AWESOME. I have never heard such a musical Litany of the Saints. And they were rocking the rainstick every time water was prominent. AND there was a CELLO!

Oh, and they gave us chocolate Easter eggs at the end. :p
