The Messiah was dead.

Today marks a sentimental event for all the followers of the Catholic faith. In the divine doctrine, it is said that the day after Christ uttered his last sentiments: ”Father into your hands I commit my spirit”( Luke 23:46), death immediately embraced him. Afterward, his body was laid in a tomb.

On the morning after, in the tomb, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea prepared the body of Christ for his burial (John 19:39-40). Blessed with serene tradition, they prayed for the death of the Messiah. A whole day was never thought to be longer, since then.

In the Philippines, Catholics commemorate Black Saturday or Sabado de Gloria as somehow a resting period. Pinned on a sabbath day, this holy event is the stillness from the usual chaosโ€”a one-day of peace for everything.

Families gather at their houses, most businesses close, national broadcasting companies are usually either on break or on mere short runs.

With respect to this holy day, the Mindanao Tech, with its meekness to journalism, tradition, and faith, is one with this tranquility.

This is the day when silence should be reflected in our physicalities and spiritual facet. This is the time that peace should reign above all. This is a remark, that one time in the past, one’s death saved the sons and daughters of the future for their impenitent sins. So, mourn in the lights of the heavens.
