Pasover 2023: Still Saturday

We discuss the stillness of Saturday between the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the crown of thorns and the crown of life. All hope seems lost, death and destruction have conquered after all, leaving us in hopeless darkness.

2.) Are we living on still Saturday now?
3.) What is our hope amidst still Saturday?
