Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday. The Saturday in the Christian year between the crucifixion and the resurrection (i.e. Good Friday and Easter Day). Two contrasting themes characterize the day, that of waiting without knowledge of how grief is to be overcome, and that of the harrowing of hell. It culminates in the Easter Vigil.
