Maundy Thursday, we wash each other’s feet.
Good Friday, Tenebrae, we extinguish the candles slowly, one by one.
Holy Saturday, what do we do?
They say He went to Hell this day. Closed it down, rescuing the dead, the hurting,
the ones in limbo, the ones forgotten by the living.
And so it was they who were the first to experience Easter. Alleluia!
Metaphor, legend, or history …
Today is Saturday.
Holy Saturday.
Who may we rescue from Hell?
To whom may we give Easter?
