What is the key to Holy Saturday? The church is bare, the altar blackened, all hope entombed with Christ.

Black Saturday is the vigil before Easter’s Resurrection. After the Crucifixion, the black veil is removed from the altar cross, for Christ is brought down from the 300-pound cross that the Sanhedrin and the Romans intended to be His failure.

They didn't know the key, though.

After our focus on Black Saturday, the creativity segment considers our physical workspace for writing.
