Saturday is a Roman description of a day of the week which is dedicated to the planet Saturn. Biblical days of the week would have been arranged in Hebrew description and name, not Roman. The day we call Saturday would have been Yom Sha-Bat or Shabbat which means rest in the Hebrew. Further Shabbat would have been the last day of the week not the second to last, as Saturday now is. Saturday is from the Roman definition of days of the week and is actually a testament to their god Saturn "dies Saturni". Many refer to the Saturday before Easter (Ishtar) as Holy Saturday or Black Saturday, although its not written as part of the Catholic celebration of what they determine to be Easter (Ishtar) or Holy week, which is based upon lunar (moon) events.

What happend on Easter?

Easter Saturday is the Saturday after Easter Sunday. It is not, as many people think, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. That is Holy Saturday. It may be Holy Saturday that you are asking about though. Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath, so no work could be done. So very little and nothing of significance happened on Holy Saturday. As it was a day of rest, that's why there was such a rush to get the body of Jesus entombed before sunset on Friday and why Jesus lay in the tomb on Holy Saturday, waiting until Sunday to rise and why the ladies didn't go to prepare the body of Jesus until the first day of the week, which is Sunday. They found he had risen and much later Christians adopted Sunday as their Sabbath in honour of the Resurrection.
