Sunrise service
Christian worship service on Easter / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunrise service is a worship service specifically on Easter Sunday practiced by some Christian denominations, such as the Moravian Church.[1] The sunrise service takes place outdoors, sometimes in a park, and the attendees are seated on outdoor chairs or benches, or else they stand throughout.
In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican churches, this ordinarily takes the form of the Easter Vigil, which can begin in the late evening of Holy Saturday or the early morning of Easter Sunday.[2] Certain congregations of the Reformed and the Methodist traditions may either observe the Easter Vigil or hold a sunrise service.
