Happy Easter Good Saturday to everyone!
2021-04-03
Easter is Good Thursday and after Good Friday it is Good Saturday. Saturday is the time of Jesus ’rest in the tomb, the third day of the three days of Holy Easter in the liturgy.
On the eve of the Passover, they commemorate the death of Jesus and the day when the body of Christ lay in a tomb dug into the rock about two thousand years ago.
The 40-day fast ends on Saturday and families solemnly eat a festive dinner of ham and eggs. In my country on this day, it is customary to shake the fruit trees in the garden after the first bell rings so that the old bad crop does fall and the tree does not become wormy. From Good Saturday to Easter Sunday, Christianity celebrates the resurrection of Jesus.
On Easter night, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ.
There is consecration, and the Easter candle itself is lit from the consecrated fire. And the ashes of consecration were kept for healing.
