Easter Vigil Mass Celebrated at STM

At the beginning of the Easter Vigil Mass at St. Thomas More Church in Baton Rouge, as is customary, the church is dark. As the candle proceeds through the church, the small candles held by those present are gradually lit from the Paschal candle, which is symbolic that as the "Light of Christ" spreads, darkness is decreased.
