Holy Saturday (in Latin, Sabbatum Sanctum), the 'day of the entombed Christ', is the Lord's day of rest, for on that day Christ's body lay in His tomb.

We recall the Apostle's Creed, which says "He descended unto the dead." It is a day of suspense between two worlds, that of darkness, sin and death, and that of the Resurrection and the restoration of the Light of the World. For this reason no divine services are held until the Easter Vigil begins that night. This day between Good Friday and Easter Day makes present to us the end of one world and the complete newness of the era of salvation inaugurated by the Resurrection of Christ.

Nightfall on Holy Saturday is time for joy and greatest expectation because of the beautiful liturgy of the Easter Vigil, often referred to as the Mother of all Holy Vigils, or the Great Service of Light. The Easter Vigil was restored to the liturgy in 1955, during the liturgical reform that preceded the Second Vatican Council.(Women for Faith and Family website)

✝️ Holy Saturday is a day of profound silence and stillness as the Church keeps prayerful vigil at the Lord's tomb, meditating on Christ's Passion, Death, and Descent into hell in anticipation of the Resurrection. Today embodies God's hiddenness with a focus on Christ's solidarity with human death, the greatest tragity.  

 🙏⚰️ 🛏 Christ's repose within the tomb is the great Sabbath rest, fulfilling and transcending Old Testament foreshadows: 1. God's rest on the seventh day after creation, echoed in 2. the Sabbath commandment as a sign of sanctification and covenant. Just as the Sabbath commanded cessation from labour to commemorate divine rest and liberation, Christ's "sabbath" in the tomb marks definitive peace and freedom, while transforming God's apparent absence into merciful expectation. 

🙏🔇Our Lady’s faithful silence amid darkness is an icon of hope, pointing towards the luminous promise of Resurrection and eternal repose. 

🙏 Christ the Redeemer and King of Peace, 
Have mercy on us 

🙏Our Lady of Solitude and Queen of Hope, 
Pray for us
