HOLY SATURDAY

Holy Saturday is the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, observed by Christians as a time of reflection and waiting. It commemorates the day Jesus’ body lay in the tomb after his crucifixion. This day is marked by a sense of solemnity and quiet anticipation. Many churches hold a Vigil service, also known as the Easter Vigil, which is one of the most significant liturgical events of the year. The vigil typically begins after sunset and includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, readings from the Old Testament, the celebration of baptisms, and the first celebration of the Easter Eucharist, marking the transition from sorrow to the joy of the Resurrection.
