Faithful Christians wait and watch, hopeful and confident that Christ will return. The Easter, or Paschal, candle is lit during this service. The service traditionally begins outside the church, where mworshippers gather around a fire.   After being lit outside, the candle is carried into the church, where most of the worshippers are waiting in darkness, which symbolises the darkness of Christ's tomb. The readings at the service tell of the creation of humanity, how humanity fell from grace, and was repeatedly rescued by God. The readings remind people of God's promise to be with them always.
