Today is Holy Saturday in the Western Church. The day between the Darkness of Good Friday and the Light of tomorrow, Resurrection Day...

In the Eastern Church, it's known as Lazarus Saturday. It's momentous, the Day before Palm Sunday, and 6 days before Orthodox Holy Friday
2/ Here's a description of the meaning of Lazarus Saturday from an Orthodox site.
Lazarus, Jesus's friend was VERY ILL.
I find it especially appropriate to celebrate this year... as the CoronaVirus rages. https://www.goarch.org/lazarus 
3/ When Jesus arrived to Bethany, Lazarus had DIED from his illness and had been buried 4 days earlier.

The Miracle of Christ raising Lazarus from the dead foreshadowed the coming Death and Resurrection of Christ himself.
4/ When asked about having the Country opened up again at Easter, Trump's reply was cryptic.

The reporter answered back, April 12?

Trump said "You have to add 7 days" https://twitter.com/Bruno062418/status/1242646116660908032
5/ Yesterday in his wonderful Good Friday/Easter Message to the Nation.

6:29 playtime adds to 17

Bishop prays that the Death Angel Pass Over us.

Recall that we Good Friday is Day 3 of Passover. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1248653185969016833
6/ Mary and Martha prayed for their brother Lazarus. But he died, as Jesus delayed coming whilst Lazarus lay sick.

Jesus had them ROLL AWAY THE STONE from Lazarus's tomb 4 days later, and commanded he come out.

This was just before PASSOVER. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+11&version=NIV
