Do Saturday night Pascha services include communion or are they just prayers like vespers but about Easter?

It is a two part service, starting with nocturnes at around 11:30pm...followed immediately (around midnight) by a combination matins / liturgy (with communion). The nocturnes and matins portion are sort of like vespers.

the evening services usually go into Sunday morning so you there is communion. I am not sure how the Orientals do it though.

I had to ask Father that question yesterday as I didn't want to be unprepared. I wouldn't have wanted to miss it!
Last year I was so wrapped up in it, I had forgotten.
