What is Black Saturday?

The term "Black Saturday" has a number of different meanings. The dates shown on this page are the dates of Black Saturday when used in the context of Christianity, where it refers to the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, more commonly known as Holy Saturday or Easter Eve. It is the last day of Lent and also the last day of Holy Week, the week in which Christians prepare for Easter. It commemorates the one full day that Jesus Christ's body laid in the tomb.

It should not be confused with Easter Saturday, as, correctly applied, this term is used to refer to the Saturday in Easter Week (ie. the Saturday after Easter, not the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday).

In other common uses the term refers to:
  • the Saturday after Black Friday, the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the United States (also known as Small Business Saturday)
  • in France, the Saturday at the end of July or the beginning of August on which road traffic is most dense due to the many holiday departures
  • a number of other Saturdays in history that saw massacres, crises, battles or catastrophes (for a comprehensive list see Black Saturday on Wikipedia)
