Easter Sunday
Holy Saturday is the day that falls between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is a day of quiet reflection and waiting, as Jesus’ body lay in the tomb. It symbolizes a time of anticipation and mourning, as Jesus’ followers awaited the fulfillment of His promise of resurrection, unaware of the glory to come.
Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, marking His victory over sin and death. It affirms the hope of eternal life and the promise of new life in Christ. It is a day of joy and celebration, acknowledging the fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation through the resurrection.
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
— John 11:25-26
