The History of Holy Week (7): Holy Saturday - The Silence of the Tomb

Holy Saturday is the quietest, most mysterious day of Holy Week. Between the agony of Good Friday and the joy of Easter, it stands as a day of silence, stillness, and waiting. Historically, it is the day Christ lay in the tomb. But in Christian tradition, it has also become the day when heaven, earth, and even hell held their breath. Though often overlooked, Holy Saturday has a rich past—one filled with solemn observance, deep theology, and profound hope.
