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 Armenian/Orthodox Holy Saturday a Public Holiday?
While government and private businesses are open on this day, non-Jewish employees and businesses may take the day off to observe their religious holy day.
