Known by different names, such as Easter Eve, Easter Even, Black Saturday or Saturday before Easter, the day is often considered a time of both sadness and joy among the Christians around the world.
Traditionally considered to be a time of reflection and waiting, Holy Saturday is the last day of the Holy Week and the end of the season of Lent.
It is good for us to spend time in quiet reflection on this day before Easter. Lieut. Colonel Richard Slater wrote a song on the tenth anniversary of his conversion in 1892. I have been singing the chorus of this song.
"I think of all His sorrow,
The garden and the morrow,
When cruel death did follow.
'Twas all for me, 'twas all for me."
