The Solemn Vigil of Easter

Here is the view of what has come to be called the "Benedictine" arrangement of the altar, after the style of the Holy Father. This was Deacon Villalobos' idea and it worked very well.

On this laver are the tools for the Easter fire. The tongs are for lighting the incense, the taper is for the candle, the grains on incense decorate the candle, and the stylus is what is used to carve the candle.

Here are the necessities for Confirmation. There are Sacred Chrism and a ewer with lemons for cleansing the hands.
