Starting Easter Under the Dark of Night

Listen to this Story

Let's be honest, for some people, Easter is one of only a few times they go to church. With all these new worshipers, empty pews start to get scarce. If you want to avoid those crowds, consider that Easter actually begins tonight at sundown. We talk with Reverend Mark Stanger of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. He performs the nighttime Easter vigil on Holy Saturday, which begins with an unlit church.
