"Midnight on Holy Saturday": does this refer to SAT 00:00 or SUN 00:00?
I'm de-wikifying some of the recent links that were put in. I'm sorry, but I really think this is over-doing it. Do we really need to link ordinary English words like "flowers" "leaves" and such? I think not. Csernica 20:19, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
And another thing -- "Greek" was rewiki'd to "Greek Orthodox" which isn't a helpful choice. First, it resulted in a redirect to "Greek Orthodox Church", so that's where it should have gone directly. Second, it contains no helpful content. It's a disambiguation page where you can find links to both the Orthodox Church of Constantinople and the autocephalous Church of Greece among others, none of which fell within the meaning intened to be conveyed by "Greek". Rather it is supposed to mean those Churches within a Hellenic "sphere of influence", particularly those that still use Greek as an official liturgical language even when it stands alongside others such as Arabic in the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem. The choice for the more general disambiguation page Greek was therefore made deliberately, and the new link was actually less informative. The point is to please take the trouble to understand what you're doing before you start throwing links all over the place. Csernica 04:10, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The link here from Easter says it is also called "Silent Saturday". Is this correct, or should the Easter page be changed?Chunkyrice 13 21:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
For some reason the KJV is changed into the NRSV version, two times already. The reason for this is unclear to me. The KJV version is much closer to the original text, and since there is some controverse about 1 Peter 3:19-20a, to me it seems better in this case to use the most reliable translation.Dingeman (talk) 11:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
not sure about the psalm chanted, but psalm 119 is the longest, not 118 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.179.118 (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure that the reference cited for Easter Eve as an alternative is used appropriately here. The link is to a complaint made to the Australian Broadcasting Commission about the phrase 'Easter Saturday' being used to describe the day; the complainant says "the correct use is Easter Eve". The ABC agrees that "Easter Saturday" is incorrect usage (true in religious terms if not in commmon Australian parlance), but doesn't say anything about 'Easter Eve' itself. It's a good reference for demonstrating how Australians use the term 'Easter Saturday' (and is used in that context elsewhere on Wikipedia), but in terms of demonstrating that 'Easter Eve' is a common alternative, it basically amounts to just one radio listener's opinion. A better reference for the broader use of the term 'Easter Eve' should be sought, I think. Thoughts? Gusworld (talk) 06:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Article currently says
with the following reference:
There is no source given for the assertion that the name "Easter Saturday" is mistaken; indeed, the reference given is evidence that it isn't mistaken at all - the name "Easter Saturday" is the official legal name of the day in the State of New South Wales, Australia, and is also (in my experience) the name by which the day is commonly known in Australia. This website by the Australian Federal government uses that name to refer to the day, and notes that it is a legal public holiday under that name in ACT,NSW,NT,Qld,SA,Vic (but not Tas or WA). So this is the legal name of the day in most of Australia. So I cannot see how the name can be mistaken when it is enshrined by Australian law and recognised by Australian governments. So I am going to delete the adverb "mistakenly" as unjustified. SJK (talk) 09:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm not confident enough to overturn this recent edit, but it seems to me questionable that a tag is needed here. Especially under emergency circumstances, it seems to me that the local bishop would be the primary authority any Catholic would turn to in questions of how the Church would operate. And it also seems to me that kind of authority of governance is very widely shared in Christendom, Orthodox or Catholic; it used to be much more pronounced even in American Anglicanism than it is today. Surely the Pope could grant the dispensation, but wouldn't it be the local bishop who would seek one from him if he thought it necessary? Others would ask the local bishop first, yes? So, why is this detail so questionable that it requires a citation? Evensteven (talk) 18:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Holy Saturday. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add ((cbignore))

I added a globalize/western tag because the article seems to focus primarily on Roman Catholic perspectives of Holy Saturday in its content and not enough of the Eastern Orthodox perspective.--Sıgehelmus (Talk) |д=) 00:55, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
This article lists a number of alternative names for Holy Saturday, but does not include In Between Saturday. I could be wrong, but I thought I heard some one BBC Radio Four saying that this day is also known as In Between Saturday.Vorbee (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Holy Saturday is traditionally known as "White Saturday" (Bílá / Biela sobota) in Czechia and Slovakia. Since the Portuguese and Filipino names are mentioned, why not these? Should I add those to the article?
State laws or similar documents in Czechia and Slovakia make no mention of the Holy Saturday, since it's not a designated holiday of any kind. The name White Saturday is used by various Christian churches in both countries, although in 2022 the Roman Catholic Church in Slovakia announced an official renaming of this day to Svätá sobota (Holy Saturday) [1], in accordance with the original Latin version used worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyjanko (talk • contribs) 09:35, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
UPDATE: I went ahead and edited it, deleting the statement that says it is the last day of fasting for Catholics in the Philippines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaivineOrodrim (talk • contribs) 17:58, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
I would like to edit this portion as it is not entirely accurate:
"It is the last day of fasting for Catholics in the Philippines. It commemorates the day that Jesus lay in his tomb."
Holy Saturday is not a day of fasting for Catholics in the Philippines. Catholics in the Philippines are, under Church law, required to fast only on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Please see this website.
Also, I noticed the footnote cites the Siquijor Tourism Office website, which is not an authoritative source for the subject matter.
