Holy Saturday is the day in the Christian liturgical calendar that falls between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It marks the period of mourning and waiting as Christians remember the burial of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion. The day is often observed with solemnity and quiet reflection, as it signifies the time Jesus spent in the tomb. It is a day of anticipation, leading to the joyful celebration of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Many Christian traditions hold an Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, where they light the Paschal candle and celebrate the hope of new life.
