Project BLACK MAMBA: The Resurrection of the Lord

Saturday, 26 March was Holy Saturday: Easter Eve-link, Wikipedia-link Holy Saturday, & Wikipedia-link Easter Vigil.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. There is no Mass celebrated on Holy Saturday (except for extreme circumstances) 'til the Easter Vigil. We mourn the death of the Lord on Good Friday in hopeful expectation of His glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday, which for liturgical purposes begins Saturday night. "Timey-wimey" would seem an applicable descriptor.

Otherwise, 26 March would have been the feast of Saint Ludger, Bishop (circa 742-809): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.

'Twould also have been the feast of Blessed Maddalena Caterina Morano, Religious, F.M.A. (1847-1908): Blessed-link & Wikipedia-link.
