PART 1: LUCERNARIUM

PROCESSION: Christ Our Light Thanks be to God.

THE EASTER PROCLAMATION (EXSULTET)

When the Paschal Candle is placed in its prominent candle stand in the church,

the church’s lights are turned back on, the candle is incensed, and the deacon

intones one of the most evocative and poetic hymns of praise in all liturgy: the

Easter Proclamation – also known as the Exsultet, named after the first word of the

Latin original. The liturgy’s symbolic movement has been from darkness to light;

now words and music are used to praise and thank God for what the light repre-

sents: God’s saving activity throughout human history, culminating in Christ’s de-

feat of death and resurrection from the dead.

Fr. Michael Flynn, USCCB
