After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,
Matthew 28:1
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Holy Saturday
Reflection
Today is Holy Saturday. We wait at the tomb, in silence and anticipation of our Risen Lord. Because we already know what happens, we can easily turn to joy this day, yet there is beauty in the silent waiting we experience at the tomb of Jesus. The mystery that surrounds Christ’s Resurrection can be meditated upon today. Place yourself at his tomb, still wrapped in grief and sorrow, yet filled with hope.
