About this Holiday
Black Saturday (Holy Saturday) is the solemn day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, commemorating the period when Jesus lay in the tomb following his crucifixion. It is observed as a day of fasting, prayer, and quiet reflection in the Christian tradition, culminating in the Easter Vigil at night. In the Philippines, it is a special non-working holiday when many families gather for prayer vigils and quiet family time in preparation for the Easter celebration.
