Pope Attends The Easter Vigil Mass

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - MARCH 31: Prince Jaime Bourbon-Parma of the Netherlands and his wife Viktoria Cservenyak attend the Easter Vigil Mass given by Pope Francis at St. Peter's Basilica on March 31, 2018 in Vatican City, Vatican. Also known as the Ònight of nightsÓ, the Easter Vigil is really the climax of the Triduum celebrations. It is on this night that we commemorate, through poignant words and powerful symbols, the death and Resurrection of Jesus. True to that symbolism, the ceremony begins outside the church, in darkness and in silence. (Photo by Franco Origlia/Getty Images)
