Holy Saturday - 3 April 2021

Quoted from Christianity.com [1]:

Holy Saturday, also called Easter Vigil, commemorates the final day of Christ’s death, which is traditionally associated with His triumphant descent into hell.

Churches that observe Holy Saturday traditionally do so by commemorating a day of somber meditation as they consider the world of darkness that would exist without the hope and redemption of Christ’s resurrection.

Quoted from Wikipedia [2]:

In the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist traditions, Holy Saturday lasts until nightfall, after which the Easter Vigil is celebrated, marking the official start of the Easter season.  The rubrics state that the Easter Vigil must take place in the night; it must begin after nightfall and end before dawn.
