Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday is the day when Christ descended to Hades.
15 readings from the Old Testament point to the Resurrection.
The dark colors are removed while the choir sings...
"Arise, O God, and judge the earth..."
The Gifts are brought in procession.
"Take. Eat. This is my body..."
"Thine own of Thine own, we offer unto Thee..."
The temple is ready for the celebration of Pascha!
