Holy Saturday is a silent phase between the Good Friday and the Resurrection, but it is not an empty phase. On the contrary, in the experience of silence and notable absence, the solidarity of God with those who are suffering grief, pain, and abandonment is most clearly expressed. The experience of “no news” in the situation where good news is hoped for is an experience of deepest desperation, insecurity which paralyses human capacities to act – shall we accept the emptiness of death, or shall we continue hoping? Holy Saturday therefore offers a salvific reading of the situation of insecurity – sometimes there is nothing we can do to know more about the events or to change them, yet we constantly experience social or emotional pressure to “do something” or to “change something.” The theology of Holy Saturday therefore stands in juxtaposition to this pressure; it tells those who are deprived of means to change events that “doing nothing” save remembering is not an empty activity but a state of profound truth-seeking and truth-telling.
