Supergirl and Lazarus Saturday
Today the majority of Eastern Orthodox Christians celebrate Lazarus Saturday. For Western Christians today is Holy Saturday, the day after Good Friday and the day before the great feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior. I've written about Lazarus Saturday before. My last post that was just about Lazarus Saturday I shared the hymn Rejoice O Bethany because I had been mediating how how Lazarus's resurrection is a foreshadowing of Our Lord's rising from the dead but also meditating on how we are made alive in Christ. Today though I experience Lazarus Saturday through the perspective of Supergirl. It started on Friday: From the backseat: "When will we put Jesus on the cross? Is that this weekend?" Me: "No dear. This weekend is Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday. But this week will be Holy Week. The 12 Gospels service will be on Thursday" ** Note the service that is served on Holy Thursday evening in the 12 Gospels Matins. W
