Saturday. The Jewish
‘Sabbath’ (q.v.) and the day of the week on which Christ's body rested in the tomb. In the W. Saturday was regarded as a fast day by the 3rd cent. but, except in
Lent and on the
Ember Days, the Saturday fast was finally abolished in 1918. On the other hand, in most E. Churches from the 4th cent. Saturday was distinguished by a celebration of the Liturgy, which in Lent is still confined to Saturday and Sunday. The connection of Saturday with the BVM in the W. is a medieval development. In the E. Church Saturday is associated with the commemoration of the departed. See also
HOLY SATURDAY.
