Good Evening Allen Temple Family and Friends,

 

Historians and scholars have done their best to curate the events of Holy Week by day. We know a good deal about what happened of specific days like Palm Sunday and Good Friday. But we know very little about what happened on Saturday. The text does not speak to it hence the day has been referred to as "Silent Saturday". Although we know relatively little about this day, we know its silence was significant. Not just for the disciples awaiting the end of the sabbath but silence is also significant for us.
