CATHOLICISM SAINTS STS. MARCELLINUS & PETER

*Saints Marcellinus and Peter (sometimes called Petrus Exorcista – Peter the Exorcist; Italian: Marcellino e Pietro) are venerated within the Catholic Church as martyrs who were beheaded. Hagiographies place them in 4th century Rome. They are generally represented as men in middle age, with tonsures and palms of martyrdom; sometimes they hold a crown each.

Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent.

Ps 104:1–2

Good Friday

While the day is one of mourning, it also carries the message of hope and the promise of eternal life through Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday. 

Holy Saturday

A day of waiting and quiet reflection between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, symbolizing the time Jesus was in the tomb before his resurrection. It is a day of sorrow and a turning point from grief to hope and renewal, marking the period before the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. While Good Friday focuses on Jesus’ crucifixion and sacrifice, Holy Saturday is a time to contemplate the hope and promise of eternal life through the resurrection.
