Images from the Easter Vigil Mass

Happy Easter everyone! Let me share with you some pictures which I was able to shoot during last night's Easter Vigil Mass. The service consisted of the Blessing of the Fire, the Liturgy of the Word, the Blessing of the water of baptism and the renewal of baptismal vows.

Bishop Isabelo Abarquez as he presided over the rite of the Blessing of Fire in front of the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral.

The Bishop assisted by Rev. Fr. Julio Gaddi during the blessing of the Paschal Candle.

The Cathedral at it slowly got illuminated by the candles during the entrance of the Paschal Candle.
