Holy Saturday is the day between Jesus Christ's crucifixion (Good Friday) and his resurrection (Easter Sunday), according to Christian belief. Many Orthodox Christians commemorate the burial of Christ on this day.
Is Coptic Holy Saturday a Public Holiday?
Coptic Holy Saturday is an optional holiday. Employment and holiday laws in Egypt allow employees to choose a limited number of holidays from a list of optional holidays. Some employees may choose to take the day off on this day, however, most offices and businesses remain open.
As midnight approaches, Orthodox worshippers light candles, and church bells announce the resurrection of Christ at midnight.
