There's Holy Thursday. There's Good Friday. And of course there's Easter Sunday. I just googled Easter and found out for the first time in my life that the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is called Holy Saturday. Is there a special church service on that day? Is there any service? I always thought that that Saturday was, for lack of a better word, an interlude.

I hope none of this is offensive, it's just that I've always wondered about what gives with that Saturday.

ricpic: Roman Catholic, Anglican, and certain other churches celebrate an Easter Vigil during the hours of darkness between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter. It's a really impressive and beautiful service, where the celebrants get to play with fire. Here's the Wikipedia article with some nice pix.

New catechumens and candidates for full communion are baptized and/or confirmed. At my church, the congregation got a dose of baptismal water as well, which is normal practice. Today, on Easter Day itself, everybody got asperges a second time, making for lots of water along with the fire.

Fortunately, last night at my church, no alarms were set off by the flames in the vestibule, as they were by the incense on Palm Sunday.  We weren't treated then to the fine lads of the Cambridge Fire Dept. roaring up in the middle of Mass, and the director didn't have to adjust the pitch of the choir to match the either the alarm or the sirens.

Huge...A name to live up to, for sure.

Maybe that's why everyone called him, Hef?
