MANILA, Philippines – On the night of Holy Saturday, March 31, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle led the Easter Vigil at the Manila Cathedral.

During the Easter Vigil, the fire used to light the Paschal candle – representing the risen Christ – is blessed. Adults and children may also receive baptism during the vigil.

In his homily on Saturday evening, Cardinal Tagle urged Filipinos to roll away “stones” to let the life of love and unity come out.
