of the day* *Holy Saturday* Holy Saturday is the day between the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday and His resurrection on Easter Sunday. It is a day of silence, waiting, and reflection, when the body of Jesus lay in the tomb while His disciples mourned and the world seemed quiet. Yet Scripture hints that even in death Christ was at work. “He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison.” (1 Peter 3:18–19). Early Christians believed this was the moment when Christ descended to the realm of the dead to proclaim victory and bring hope to the righteous who had gone before. The early Church spoke about this mystery. Melito of Sardis wrote that Christ “went down to the depths of the earth to free the captives.” Even ancient writings outside Christianity, like the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, record that Jesus was crucified and His followers later proclaimed that He appeared to them alive again. Holy Saturday reminds us that even when God seems silent, He is still working. The tomb was not the end; it was the quiet moment before the greatest victory in history. #⛪ வேளாங்கண்ணி சர்ச் #✝பைபிள் வசனங்கள் #✝️இயேசுவே ஜீவன் #✝️இயேசு
