HOLY SATURDAY

  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
