At an evening Mass, Luke 24:13-35 (Lect. [46]) may be used.
Mass is to be celebrated on with great solemnity. In place of the Creed on this day, the renewal of baptismal promises takes place (as at the Vigil) and the people are sprinkled with water blessed at the Vigil, during which a song of baptismal character should be sung. The entrance stoups to the church should also be filled with the same water. [PS 97]
The Paschal Candle burns at all Hours and Masses today. It is kept in the sanctuary near the altar or ambo until Pentecost Sunday. [PS 99]
Hours of Easter Sunday.
The Easter Vigil takes the place of the Office of Readings.
Where it is the custom, the tradition of "Baptismal Vespers" with a procession to the font is to be diligently observed. (GILH, 213) It is most appropriate to conclude Night Prayer throughout the Easter Season with the Regina Coeli (GILH, 92).
After Night Prayer the paschal candle is extinguished. It remains by the ambo or altar, and is lit throughout Easter Time at Mass and at other celebrations until Pentecost inclusive.
During the Octave, a Funeral Mass is permitted, but Ritual Masses (including Nuptial Masses) are prohibited, and all solemnities are delayed until after the Second Sunday of Easter.
