The Lamentation of Jesus, Hand Painted Bulgarian Icon. Holy Saturday marks the lamentation of Jesus Christ. According to tradition, the ritual Easter bread is usually kneaded and baked on this day, and it is the last day on which Easter eggs can be dyed. Holy Saturday is associated with the lamentation of Jesus Christ by his mother the Holy Virgin. After his death on the cross, Christ descends into hell, frees the biblical prophets and the righteous and takes them to heaven. Thus begins a new era in the history of mankind - the right of man to choose freely - to be good or bad and after his death to reach heaven or hell. The icon is in very good condition.
