Holy Saturday – Tridium
On this day we remember the loss of Jesus. The day following Good Friday is Holy Saturday. This is usually called Easter Eve in Anglican churches, and is held as a traditional time for baptism services.Presently, this day is primarily a Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, as well as Anglican observance. Roman Catholic churches observe this with the blessing and lighting of a tall Paschal candle. The candle is placed on the altar on the Holy Saturday. While blessing, five grains of incense are fixed in it, representing the five wounds of Jesus and the burial spices with which his body was anointed. This day comes at the end of forty days which mark the period through which Christ showed up himself of and on following the crucifixion. On Ascension Day Christ is believed to have ascended to the heaven.
On this day the Moot Community recommits to its Rhythm of Life in the presence of the Bishop of London in St Paul’s Cathedral.
