SUMMARY:Orthodox Holy Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Holy Saturday is the day when Jesus lay in his tomb after his death\, according to Christian belief. Many Orthodox Christian churches in the United States often observe Holy Saturday at a later date than the Holy Saturday date observed by many western churches. Holy Saturday is also known as Holy and Great Saturday. \nIs Orthodox Holy Saturday a Public Holiday?\nEven though Orthodox Holy Saturday falls on Saturday\, April 19\, 2025\, it is a working day. Most businesses follow regular opening hours in United States. \nWhat Do People Do?\nMany Orthodox Christians in the United States view Holy Saturday as the day of watchful expectation. The mourning period wanes and people wait for Easter Sunday\, the day when Jesus was resurrected. Holy Communion can be received on Holy Saturday in some Orthodox churches in the United States. \nSome churches hold a midnight liturgy between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. The liturgy usually starts out in darkness\, representing the tomb’s darkness\, before candles are lit. It is customary in many churches for the clergy and congregation to hold candles as they sing. This practice stems from ancient Christian burial rituals. \nPublic Life\nThe Christian Orthodox date for Holy Saturday is not a federal public holiday in the United States. \nBackground\nMany Orthodox churches retained the Julian calendar after the Gregorian calendar was introduced in Europe in 1582. Therefore they often follow a different Easter date compared with many western churches. Easter holidays\, such as Holy Saturday\, are “moveable feasts” as these dates change according to calendar calculations. Holy Saturday is the day between Jesus’ death and his resurrection. \nThere are different types of Orthodox churches that are well established in the United States. Some of these churches include the Greek Hellenic Orthodox Church\, the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America\, and the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russian Orthodox Church in North America can be traced back to the late 18th century\, where a Russian church was built on Kodiak Island in Alaska during that period.  Alaska was previously part of Russia until the United States bought the land. The number of Greek Orthodox churches grew as Greek immigration increased after the late 19th century in the United States. \nSymbols\nCandles that are lit during Holy Saturday church liturgies symbolize Jesus Christ’s victory over death\, as well as the Christian belief in his resurrection. It can also mean spiritual hope and victory. \nAbout Orthodox Holy Saturday in Other Countries\nRead more about Orthodox Holy Saturday.
