Black Saturday

April 19, 2025 (Saturday)

Black Saturday, also known as Holy Saturday, is the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It commemorates the time when Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after His crucifixion. It is traditionally a day of mourning, silence, and reflection among Christians, particularly Roman Catholics.

In the Philippines, most people spend the day in prayer or continue religious observances that began on Maundy Thursday. Although there are no church services held until the evening Easter Vigil, the solemnity of the day is deeply respected, making it a special non-working day for many Filipinos.
