Sounds somewhat similar. Ours is the end of Lent - 40 days.

Footwashing is on Holy Thursday, Good Friday is about Jesus's passion.

Easter Vigil starts with the Liturgy of Light, symbolic of Jesus Christ the new creation, the Light of the World.

The first reading was Genesis 1:1-22; the second Genesis 22: 1-18; third, Exodus 14L15-15:1; fourth, Isaiah 54:5-14 (my favorite this time); fifth Isaiah 55:1-11; sixth Baruch 3:9-15, 32, 4:4; seventh Ezekiel 36:16-28.

Then came Glory to God.

Then Romans 6:3-11 and then Luke 24: 1-12. Psalm were read and sung between each scripture reading.

Then the Bishop spoke on the revelation of God, the resurrection of Christ and the sanctity of life everlasting.

Then came baptisms. Then confirmations. Then renewal of baptismal promises, renunciation of sin, profession of faith.

The the Liturgy of the Eucharist, including the Lord's Prayer and Holy Communion. Then we sang "Lamb of God" had the final blessing and closing song of "Jesus Christ is Risen Today"

O. K. by you?

I've said many times to Catholics in this forum that I won't argue with their tradition. Even though I don't think it's right it's at least logical because Catholics believe that they have the authority of God to make any and all changes they want.

Personally I want to follow the biblical examples as closely as possible because I believe that this is the expressed mind of God to man. That is why I keep the sabbath and the holy days.
