After the blessing of the font (and baptism of catechumens, if there are any), the Litany of the Saints is sung, during which the ministers briefly lie prostrate on the altar steps before going to the sacristy to change into white Mass vestments. The acolytes meanwhile prepare the sanctuary for Mass, by lighting the altar candles (from the Easter candle) and removing the violet altar frontal and putting out the flowers and relics. The Mass of Holy Saturday has several peculiarities, and is notable for various omissions. There is no Introit (entrance antiphon), as everyone is already present; the clergy come to the altar as the choir sings the final Kyrie at the end of the Litany. During the Gloria, the bells are rung for the first time since Holy Thursday and the images, veiled since the start of Passiontide, are uncovered.
