Holy Saturday is the quiet, in-between space—the day after Jesus’s crucifixion and the day before His resurrection. A day of silence, grief, and waiting.

Scripture tells us little about what happened on this day. We know Jesus’s body lay in the tomb, His followers were scattered and mourning, and hope must have felt lost. They didn’t yet know what was coming.

This Holy Saturday meditation invites you to step into that moment. To imagine what it was like for Jesus’s disciples—those who walked with Him, who believed He was the Messiah, and who now sat in deep uncertainty.

Through this meditation, you’ll be guided to:
• Reflect on the weight of waiting and the silence of Holy Saturday.
• Bring before God the places where you, too, are waiting.
• Rest in the truth of God’s promises, even when His timing is unclear.

We hold vigil today, remembering that God is always at work—even when we cannot see it.

Take a moment to pause, reflect, and prepare your heart for the hope that is coming.

The passages in this meditation are:

2 Peter 3:8-9, NIV

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Isaiah 55:8-9, NIV

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
