Holy Saturday, also called Easter Vigil, Christian religious observance that ends the Lenten season, falling on the day before Easter Sunday. The observance commemorates the final day of Christ’s death, which is traditionally associated with his triumphant descent into hell. Holy Saturday is celebrated on Saturday, April 3, 2021.
The early church celebrated the end of Lent with large baptismal ceremonies, but for many centuries no services were held on Holy Saturday in the Western churches, recalling the suspended state of Christ’s followers in the period between his Crucifixion and Resurrection. Beginning in 1955, the Roman Catholic and some other churches restored the evening Easter Vigil. The Eastern Orthodox churches had never abandoned the ceremony. The vigil celebration may include lighting fires and candles to symbolize Christ’s passing from death to life and tolling bells to signify the joyous end of Lent. Many churches also celebrate theof catechumens (unbaptized converts) and the confirmation or chrismation and first communion of both catechumens and candidates (converts who were previously baptized in a different Christian faith tradition) during the Easter Vigil. You should use Holy Saturday to reflect everything back in your life that your heavenly father and Jesus had done for you. It is a time to really take the time to be with your Heavenly Father.
Closing prayer; Heavenly Father, we hope that this story about Holy Saturday gets into the minds and hearts of the readers and that they take time to be with you. We ask Jesus to help with that. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
