Basilisa Marie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 So what was everyone's favorite part of Easter this weekend? :) I went to the Vigil, and not only did we have about a dozen people enter the Church (hooray!), but we had a 6 year old girl and a man in his 80s baptized.

Apotheoun Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I love singing the Paschal Troparion: "Christ is risen from the dead; by death He conquered death, and to those in the grave He granted life." Christos voskrese! Voistinu voskrese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I love it all. I don't think I can choose a favorite part. Although I am excited that this year enough requests were made for more of the readings, so we got 5 of the OT readings, which is one more than last year, and two more that two years ago. Hopefully in a couple years we can break Fr down enough to get all 7 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Aside from the obvious churchy parts that everyone else will say... Jelly beans. I love jelly beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Tied between two parts. The Litany of the Saints, for one, and the other is the start of the Mass itself, at the Gloria, when all the bells ring. At my parish they played the organ at that part too, so finally hearing the bells and organ and Gloria all at once was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hmm, I liked the Lucem Christe part too, with the procession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Favorite part of Easter Sunday Mass: Renewal of Baptismal Promises and being able to sing/say "Alleluia" again! Favorite part of Easter (secular): Dinner! We are going to my aunt's and having turkey dinner with mashed potatoes. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToJesusMyHeart Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The steak and honey ham we had for last night's dinner and today's lunch. And I second the jelly beans. The Starbursts ones! And consoling the miserable heart of Jesus at a Mass filled with abuses. :console: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xTrishaxLynnx Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) The Vigil Mass is my favorite part of the entire year, not just Easter. Edited March 31, 2013 by xTrishaxLynnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningCatholic Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The Exultet!!!!!! And Glorias where the congregation DOESN'T ring cowbells. (That really happened, both on Holy Thursday and at the Easter Vigil; they handed out ACTUAL COWBELLS for the congregation to ring.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hmm, I liked the Lucem Christe part too, with the procession. Oh no, but I'm going to have to correct you :evil: It's Lumen Christi ( I like that we kneeled) My favourite besides the Gloria has always been the Exsultet.
