First sign
The Paschal candle
“I am the light of the world.” — John 8
Lit from new fire in the dark of the Vigil, the great candle burns through all fifty days — Christ, the light no tomb could hold.
Christ our lightThe great fifty days
He is risen. Death has lost its hold.
The stone is rolled away, the linen folded, the Lord is not here. Easter is not a single Sunday but fifty days of Alleluia — the longest feast of the Church year, when sorrow turns to wonder and prayer becomes pure thanksgiving. Solua keeps the whole season of joy with you, morning by morning.
Easter begins at the Vigil, the night of April 4 — and runs fifty days, all the way to Pentecost.
Regina Caeli, laetare, alleluia — Queen of Heaven, rejoice.
Light · water · song
Three signs of the Risen Lord.
At the Easter Vigil the Church gathers in the dark and waits — then everything she had set aside in Lent returns at once: new fire, blessed water, and the word she could not say for forty days.
Second sign
The living water
“Let the one who thirsts come.” — Revelation 22
The font is blessed and the newly baptized rise up white-robed — and the whole Church renews the promises made at her own baptism.
Renewed in baptismThird sign
The Alleluia
“This is the day the Lord has made.” — Psalm 118
Buried in silence all through Lent, the word comes back — Alleluia — and the Church will not stop singing it for fifty days.
The song restoredPrayed through Eastertide
The five Glorious Mysteries.
When the Church rises from Lent, the Rosary rises with her. Through the fifty days we pray the Glorious Mysteries — the joy on the far side of the Cross, from the empty tomb to the crowning of the Mother of God.
- I
The Resurrection
“Why do you seek the living among the dead?” — Christ rises, and death itself is undone.
- II
The Ascension
He is lifted up and a cloud takes Him — and our own nature is carried home to the Father.
- III
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
Tongues as of fire rest on the Church, and the frightened few are sent to the ends of the earth.
- IV
The Assumption
The Mother is taken up, body and soul, into glory — the first to follow her risen Son.
- V
The Coronation
She is crowned Queen of Heaven and earth — and our hope of all that grace intends for us.

Pentecost
For years Easter was over by lunchtime. Now the Alleluia stays — the kids are still saying it in May — and the whole season finally feels like fifty days of joy.
