Yup, Holy Saturday. Or, for me, “Easter baking day”!

the stimulus refund will go by which of you is the primary filer. So which of you is listed first on the tax return.

For us that is me.

Thanks for the link!

I have always known it as Holy Saturday, although my mom used to call it teh pre-Easter errand Saturday!

One thing about Easter……There are a number of people who would argue that Jesus did not have to have a bodily resurrection or some even argue that Jesus’ death alone was enough, but we agree with Paul when he tells us that anything short of a bodily resurrection ignores the victory of God.

God does not want to just rescue people from this material world — God wants to restore all things. God CHOSE to send His son to die on the cross for OUR sins.

Jesus’ resurrection reminds us of three things

God has defeated death.
God has defeated evil.
God has begun His redemptive work.

It’s called Holy Saturday, or the Great Vigil.

Happy almost-Easter, you two! Are you going to be around?

I’ve heard Maundy Thursday also called Holy Thursday by the Catholics. In fact, you can apparently call every day from Monday to Thursday “Holy.” It’s part of that whole Holy Week label.

What I’d never heard before, though, was that Wednesday can apparently be called “Spy Wednesday.” That’s the day that Judas betrayed Jesus for the money, agreeing to spy for the Jewish leaders.

Your “Single Guy takes on bank fees” link is actually a link to PaidTwice’s post on dental insurance.

As an Anglican, we call this Holy Saturday. So far, this Triduum, we have attended services for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. We finish Holy Saturday by attending the Easter Vigil. After which we declare, “Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.”
