HOLY SATURDAY. THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
JUNE MARINOS' DEATH
Holy Saturday, the day before Greek Easter marks the last
day of Holy Week. On the morning of Holy
Saturday the Greek Orthodox Church commemrat4s our Lord Jesus' burial. According to the Bible, the chief priest and
Pharisees asked Pontius Pilate to secure Christ’s tomb for three days before
His resurrection. On Holy Saturday,
psalms are read and hymns are sung about conquering death.
In Greece, the Resurrection Mass takes place on Holy
Saturday a few minutes before midnight, all the lights are turned off, and the
priest exits from the altar and announces the resurrection of our Lord. Fireworks and crackers go off and the night
is filled with light and colorful explosions CHRISTOS ANESTI.
Unfortunately, Penny my dear friend June Marinos’ daughter
told me that she died peacefully. I am devastated because I was very fond of
her. My profound condolences to all the
family and friends and let them remember that she was highly esteemed by all
who knew her. May she rest in Peace
