Word of the Day: Holy Saturday
HOLY SATURDAY. The eve of Easter, and the day that Christ remained in the tomb. In the early Church no Mass was offered, with services starting about three o'clock in the afternoon and ending with the Mass of the Resurrection on Easter morning. The present Easter Vigil is an approximation of this ancient rite.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
