Black Saturday: Philippines

It has always been a tradition in the Philippines to celebrate the Black Saturday the day after Good friday in which many catholic believe is the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been a tradition to go to a beah and perform the so called Sabado De Gloria.

Many devotees, especially those who own images depicting the Passion of Christ, will also be busy preparing for the Holy Wednesday procession on Tuesday, particularly in the provinces of Bulacan, Iloilo, City, Marinduque, Pampanga, Rizal, and Laguna, as well as in many towns in Metro Manila, where grand processions are traditionally held every Wednesday and on Good Friday.

Holy Saturday commemorates the day that Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after his death, according to the Christian bible. It is the day after Good Friday and the day before Easter Sunday. It is also known as Easter Eve, Easter Even, Black Saturday, or the Saturday before Easter.
