Holy Saturday, often referred to as Easter Saturday or Great Sabbath, is the day between Good Friday (commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus) and Easter Sunday (celebrating His resurrection). It is a day of reflection and anticipation in the Christian tradition, observed with solemnity and often marked by special liturgical practices.

Orthodox Holy Saturday, also known as Great and Holy Saturday, is a pivotal day in the Orthodox Christian calendar. It is the final day of Holy Week, commemorating Christ’s burial and His descent into Hades, and it serves as a transition from the solemnity of the Passion to the joy of the resurrection on Pascha (Easter Sunday).
