Holy Saturday...

As you remember Christ laid in the tomb on the Sabbath day before He rose again. A day of quiet meditation as Christians contemplate the darkness of a world without a future & without hope apart from God & His grace. It is also a day to remember loved ones who have passed on & to honor those who have given their lives for Christ.

Some people honor ancient traditions by fasting for 40 hours before the sunrises on Sunday; however it is observed, Holy Saturday has traditionally been a time of reflection & waiting, the time of weeping that lasts for the night while awaiting the joy that comes in the morning.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But Joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
