Holy Saturday, Batman!

Welcome to the hump day of the Easter Triduum (that’s Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday). I never quite know what it is I am supposed to do today. On Good Friday, we pray, fast, and abstain from eating meat. We may opt to attend the Stations of the Cross if we want to. Clear, easy-to-follow rules–no problem. On Easter Sunday, we go to mass and celebrate the risen Christ, the end of lent, and new beginnings–no problem. Today, however, I find myself in a religious holding pattern. There are no formal church services, no mass or anything. There is a blessing of the Easter food, but we’re eating out this year, so no need for that. I know what I will do–clean the house and bake a little something, but it just seems . . . I don’t know, like not enough. When all else fails, I guess you can always turn to the rosary, right?

If you’re Catholic or Christian, how do you spend Holy Saturday?

Until Next Time,

Joan
