The Orthodox Christians mark Holy Saturday today- the last day of the Holy Week. It commemorates the day that Jesus’s body lay in the tomb and the Harrowing of Hell.
Today, priests change alter cloths and vestments from dark to bright which symbolizes Jesus’ victory over the Satin and death. On 00.00 am on Sunday, at a liturgy held on Alexander Nevsky suqare in Sofia, Bulgaria’s Patriarch Neophyte will announce the Resurrection of the Saviour.
By decision of the Holy Synod, priests from the Bulgarian Orthodox Church will not travel to Jerusalem this year to bring the Holy Fire. It will be taken from Bulgarian temples which keep it from last year’s Easter.
