Holy Saturday: The Day the King Slept

Fr. Patrick Briscoe dives into Holy Saturday for the conclusion of our Holy Week mini-series, The Three Days that Changed the World: A Triduum Retreat on the Heart of Our Faith.

In this continued time of reflection and quiet, with Good Friday leading into Holy Saturday, Fr. Patrick looks to Scripture and the theological insight of St. Thomas Aquinas to unpack questions around the Death of Christ, the importance of the tomb, and what really occurred during the "Harrowing of Hell."

Thank you for journeying with us this Holy Week, may you have a blessed Easter.
