Today, on Holy Saturday, which is the last day of Holy Week preceding Easter, Christians commemorate the burial of Jesus Christ and his descent into hell to break its chains and reopen the gates of heaven for people.
The Divine Liturgy, which is served for Holy Saturday in the "St. Nedelya" Cathedral in Sofia, is led by Patriarch Daniil. Tonight at 11:30 p.m. he will also lead the solemn services in the "St. Alexander Nevsky" Cathedral and will proclaim the Resurrection of Christ.
Before that, a flame from the Holy Fire, which is kept in the Synodal Chapel, will be carried in a liturgical procession to the altar of the cathedral. From there, His Holiness will bring out lit candles and will invite the faithful to receive "light from the unsettling Light" and to glorify the risen Christ.
Solemn Easter services will be held in churches and monasteries throughout the country.
