Holy Saturday.
the Saturday before easter-eventSunday, also called Easter Even, is the last day of Holy Week and brings the season of Lent to a close. In the early church, this was the major day for baptisms. Many churches, especially those of the Anglican Communion, still hold large baptismal services on Holy Saturday. It is also known as the Vigil of Easter in reference to the fact that Jesus' followers spent this day, after his crucifixion on Good Friday, waiting. The Easter, or Paschal, Vigil, the principal celebration of Easter, is traditionally observed the night of Holy Saturday in many churches today. Another name for this day is the Descent into Hell, because it commemorates Jesus' descent into and victory over hell.
Slavic Orthodox Christians bring baskets of food to the church for the Blessing of the Pascha (Easter) Baskets on Holy Saturday. The baskets are filled with the foods from which people have abstained during the Lenten fast and which will be part of the Pascha feast. For many inhabitants of Mexican descent in Los Angeles, California, Holy Saturday is the day for a colorful ceremony known as the Blessing of the Animals, which takes place at the Old Plaza Church near Olvera Street.

How many days after Easter is pentecost Sunday?
Pentecost Sunday is 49 days after Easter Sunday. Some say that Pentecost Sunday is 50 days after Easter Sunday. Indeed, the word Pentecost is derived from the Latin and Greek words meaning fiftieth. However, the period is 50 days long only when both Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday are included in the count, which disagrees with the common response to how many days after one date is another. This is totally understandable considering that the ancient Romans used to count days that way. For example, we would say that March 14 is the day before the ides of March, but they referred to it as the second day before the ides of March. Given the modern interpretation of the terminology, stating that Pentecost is 50 days after Easter is like stating that tomorrow is two days after today.
