Hey, Everyone! It's Holy Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                          This is a day of waiting, darlings!  Jesus is in the tomb, and Mary Magdelene awaits her cue to do her thing at dawn.  Right now, we wait for the resurrection of Jesus.  Like Good Friday, it is a contemplative day.



                           Years ago, Holy Saturday was the big Easter movie night.  No, I am not talking about Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 "The Ten Commandments."  For years, there were two movies to choose from at 11;30 that evening.  On CBS, Channel 2, was offered "Easter Parade," the 1948 MGM movie, where Judy Garland and Fred Astaire sing "When The Midnight Train Leaves For Alabam."  Channel 7, ABC offered "The Song Of Bernadette."  No problem figuring out what I chose, girls, and still do!  Oh, my God!  The sheer beauty of it all!



                            Now that this tradition has vanished, I carry it on in my own way.  Each Easter Sunday, starting at 2PM, I screen "The Song Of Bernadette," and all our "Svengoolie" friends--Baby Gojira, Kerwyn, and Cucumbo come and watch with me.  Tomorrow should be a day of reverence.



                             Like yesterday, Holy Saturday is a day of reflection.



                              We await the resurrection of Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                Happy Holy Saturday, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
