The Pope in St. Peter's Basilica for the Easter Vigil - Last hour.
The Rite begins in the atrium of the Basilica with the blessing of the fire and the preparation of the Paschal candle. The procession towards the Altar is followed by the Liturgy of the Word and the Baptismal Liturgy, during which the Pope administers the sacrament of Christian initiation to eight adult neophytes. During the liturgy, in addition to baptism, the octocatechumens also receive confirmation and first communion.
