About Saturday of Easter Week 2025
Saturday of Easter Week
Easter Saturday, on the Christian Calendar, is the seventh day of Eastertide, which is the Saturday of Easter or Bright Week. It is the last day of Easter Week in the calendar of Western Christianity, sometimes called Saturday of Easter Week or Saturday of Easter Week.
It is also the seventh day in the octave of Easter. In the liturgy of Eastern Christianity, it is the last day of Bright Week, and is called Bright Saturday. Easter Saturday is the day before the second Sunday of Easter Sunday or Divine Mercy Sunday.
Bright Saturday
The term "Easter Saturday" is also used colloquially to refer to Holy Saturday, i.e. Easter Eve, the week before the religious holiday of Easter Saturday, perhaps due to the reference to Easter weekend. Many people, particularly religious authorities, consider this alternative meaning incorrect, but it remains in common Australian usage. Use of the term "Bright Saturday(उज्ज्वल शनिवार)" avoids this confusion by explicitly referring to the Saturday 6 days after Easter Sunday.
