Get Ready for Stunning Auroras
Potential aurora displays are expected on June 14 as NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 storm watch, with elevated geomagnetic activity.
Holy Saturday is the day between Jesus Christ's crucifixion (Good Friday) and his resurrection (Easter Sunday), according to Christian belief. Many Orthodox Christians commemorate the burial of Christ on this day.
Is Holy Saturday a Public Holiday?
Holy Saturday is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
In 2025, it falls on a Cumartesi, and some businesses may choose to follow Cumartesi opening hours.
As midnight approaches, Orthodox worshippers light candles, and church bells announce the resurrection of Christ at midnight.
