Prelude to Black Saturday

Author: C. Alton Roberts

“What today is Holy Saturday on the Church’s calendar was certainly not Holy Saturday for those early followers of Jesus. It was a day of despair, truly a Black Saturday.” (from the Foreword)
This liturgical drama provides a stark contrast to the joy and celebration of Easter morning. This service captures the reality of that Friday when our Lord was crucified. The cast includes people who were present on that final Friday — each sharing their emotions, from the sneering soldiers, to the heart-wrenching sobs and pleas of his mother, to Christ himself.
