Holy Saturday
Today is Holy Saturday, the Saturday of Holy Week, otherwise known as Easter Even, the Great Sabbath, Black Saturday and Easter Eve. Our Coptic brothers and sisters call today "Joyous Saturday" or "the Saturday of Light". It commemorates the day that Jesus Christ's body lay in the tomb and the Harrowing of Hell. Traditionally, there are few customs for things done on this day other than the Great Vigil ... Preparing for and awaiting Resurrection Day.
