Pope Francis has carried a lit candle up the main aisle of a darkened St. Peters Basilica in a dramatic Saturday Easter vigil ritual.
on Saturday encouraged people to resist cynicism or pursuing the glitter of wealth, and to avoid seeking lifes meaning in things that pass away.
Sin seduces; it promises things easy and quick, prosperity and success, but leaves behind only solitude and death, the pope said. Sin is looking for life among the dead, for the meaning of life in things that pass away. At the start of the ceremony on Easters eve, Francis, dressed in white robes, slowly carried a lit candle up the aisle of a darkened St. Peters Basilica. At the chant in Latin for light of Christ, the basilicas lights were suddenly switched on in a dramatic tradition.
