Information
Due to the forecasted rain Saturday morning, this prayer service has been moved into the Nave from the Memorial Garden.
Holy Saturday is the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the time between Jesus' crucifixion and his resurrection.
According to the Gospel accounts, after Jesus was crucified, his body was taken down from the cross and buried in a nearby tomb. Holy Saturday is a day of waiting and anticipation, as Christians remember the time between Jesus' death and resurrection.
During this time, many Christians reflect on the significance of Jesus' death and what it means for their faith. St. David's will hold special services on Holy Saturday, including the lighting of the Paschal candle, which symbolizes the risen Christ.
In some Christian traditions, Holy Saturday is also a time for baptisms and other rites of initiation. This reflects the belief that through his death and resurrection, Jesus made it possible for all people to be reconciled to God and receive the gift of eternal life.
Overall, Holy Saturday is a solemn and reflective day in the Christian calendar, as believers wait in hope for the celebration of Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday.
