The Vigil of Easter begins with the lighting of the candle and chanting of the Exsultet, followed by 7 lessons with tracts, each chanted to the same tune. Since 1970 the celebration of the Ordinary Form has required only 3 lessons (one of which must be the crossing of the Red Sea) and there is considerable discretion allowed in choosing the responses. Anglican orders of service make provision for up to 9 lessons and 9 psalms.


After the Baptismal Litany of Saints, Mass continues with the Gloria; the Agnus is omitted. In the post-1970 Mass the Liturgy of Baptism follows the Gospel and homily.

Alleluia: Confitemini Domino
Tract: Laudate Dominum (omitted)
