This is the pattern we see in 1 Corinthians 15, and to professionals some extent in the accounts of the Last Supper in the synoptic gospels.

This will be followed by a potluck meal in the hall. Pentecost is one of the most important feasts in the Church’s year – the Eastern Orthodox would argue that it is on a par with Easter, a conviction the Vicar shares – and this Vigil Service provides an opportunity for deep Scriptural reflection and further teaching on the significance of this high point in the liturgical year.
