Holy Saturday: The Exsultet

 The Lessons for Holy Saturday

The Exsultet  is a favorite of M.P.'s, who suggested I post it today.  Here it is performed by Br. Pádraig McIntyre OSB, from Glenstall Abbey in County Limerick, Ireland; you can follow the lyrics here.


I am ashamed to confess that I was unaware till now that there is a version of the Exsultet in the Book of Common Prayer.  However, I have never known an Episcopal church to hold an Easter Vigil service in my part of the country; apparently, it is de rigueur in Catholic ones.  A lovely idea.
