#ChristusVivit

"Christ is alive! He is our hope, and in a wonderful way, he brings youth to our world, and everything he touches becomes young, new, and full of life." #PopeFrancis #ChristusVivit

A Paschal Candle is lit after an Easter Vigil. It obscures a crucifix behing it.

The Easter Vigil is, once again, one of the most beautiful moments of the year!
