This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the -04:00 time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day larger. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct.

About Holy Saturday

The Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Because Holy Saturday is a religious observance, many families organize travel, meals, services and time off around it. Congregations usually publish their own schedules, so treat the date here as the calendar date and confirm local timings with your community.

Holy Saturday is worked out from Easter Sunday: it falls 1 day before Easter, so it moves whenever Easter moves.

Using this sleep counter

Sleeps is the unit children use, and it is oddly practical: it counts the nights between today and the day itself. The number equals the day count, but saying it in sleeps turns a long wait into something a child can picture.
