Holy Saturday, also known as Black Saturday or Easter Eve, is the day before Easter Sunday. It is part of the Holy Week and commemorates the day that Jesus Christ's body lay in the tomb after his death on Good Friday. In Fiji, a predominantly Christian country, Holy Saturday is observed by various denominations including Methodists, Catholics, Anglicans, and others.
The history of Holy Saturday in Fiji is intertwined with the arrival of Christianity brought by missionaries in the 19th century. As Fijians converted to Christianity, they began to observe Holy Week traditions including those of Holy Saturday. This day holds profound religious significance as it represents a period of waiting and reflection on the sacrifice made by Jesus.
Holy Saturday in Fiji reflects a quiet day of anticipation leading up to the jubilation of Easter Sunday when Fijians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with feasting, church services, and family gatherings.
