Easter Vigil and Mass, (OTA -Backdated Saturday night through to the morning.)
Father Sam kept the vigil in the church all night, as had been done in his youth. The other pastors, if they kept it at all, divided the night among themselves, and Sam didn't grudge it them. Those of other denominations had families and wives, and didn't have the freedom Sam did to take cat naps the following day.
So it was he alone, and anyone else who wished to visit who was in the sanctuary through the long dark night.
He led the Masses (traditional Latin, and then English) of celebration the next morning, raising his deep but melodious voice in joyful song and chant, face weary, but transfigured with hope and happiness.
(ooc:drop in on him either during the night, or greet him the next morning.)
