Holy Saturday 2023: what is its origin?
Holy Saturday is a day of mourning, since there are 24 hours of silence after the crucifixion and death of Jesus on Good Friday. For this reason, there are usually no religious celebrations. Instead it is a day of rest, reflection and calm to be with loved ones and family.
Glory Saturday is the commemoration of God made man in the sepulcher and his descent into the abyss, since it is the date on which Jesus Christ remained dead in his tomb and then reappeared on Holy Sunday. This day ends the Pascual Triduum (Thursday, Friday and Holy Saturday) and serves to remember Mary after the loss of her son.
