Very few Anglicans ever celebrated the Vigil – just a handful of Anglo-Catholics here and abroad. These celebrants still gather and await the chant ‘The Light of Christ.’ And as the Light spreads in a darkened church building, in a darkened ‘National’ Church, in a darkened world, we await the words, ‘Thanks be to God.’

I guess our little Continuing church counts as part of this "handful of Anglo-Catholics"...

Unfortunately, much confusion has arisen from the fact that many parishes have adopted the old Anglo-Catholic practices externally, but preach the modern ECUSA doctrine in full and pernicious heresy.

Such an one was our old ECUSA parish. We ALWAYS did the Easter Vigil (and, BTW, it's "Vidi Aquam"* - not "Vide Acqua" - the author must not be a Latin scholar) etc., but it was a whited sepulchre.

*Vidi aquam egrediéntem de templo, a látere dextro, allelúia: et omnes ad quos pervénit aqua ista salvi facti sunt et dicent: allelúia, allelúia.

I saw water flowing forth from the temple, on the right side, alleluia: and all to whom that water came every one was saved, and they shall say, alleluia, alleluia.
