| About Holy Saturday |
| Holy Saturday is the day after Good Friday. Holy Saturday is the day before the Easter and the last day of Holy Week. Holy Saturday the 'day of the entombed Christ,' is the Lord's Day of rest, for on that day Christ's body lay in His tomb is the day after Good Friday. On this day the church commemorates the time that Jesus Christ lay in the tomb and that he descended into hell. During the day, the preparations at home which must be made for Easter Day are appropriate, however, because they keep our attention fixed on the holiness and importance of the most central feast of the Church. Holy Saturday is the final day of Holy Week, the final day of the traditional 40 day Lenten Fast, and a part of the Triduum, and commemorates Jesus lying in the tomb until his resurrection on Easter Sunday. In the primitive Church Holy Saturday was known as Great, or Grand, Saturday, Holy Saturday, the Angelic Night, the Vigil of Easter, etc. Holy Saturday is also known as Easter Even and the Great Sabbath. |
