Easter Saturday Photos
Easter Saturday, or Bright Saturday, is the Saturday following the Christian festival of Easter. In the liturgy of Western Christianity it is the last day of Easter Week, sometimes referred to as the Saturday of Easter Week or Saturday in Easter Week.
Easter Saturday sometimes refers to Holy Saturday, the Holy Week observance that falls between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but this usage is incorrect.
