A Poem: Holy Saturday

Posted by lenleatherwood on 
Holy Saturday is a liminal time 

A straddling of what has been and what will soon be 

On the cusp between dark night and first light 

A time of waiting

Of patience 

Before everything changes

When a rolled-aside stone reveals an empty tomb

And a man mistaken as a gardener

 Filled with humility and forgiveness 

 Undoes humanity's petty and evil deeds

His transformation 

A living testament 

To God's infinite grace and love

Rembrandt’s Christ and St Mary Magdalene at the Tomb
