Saturday of Souls

See Soul Saturday — a Saturday of universal commemoration of the departed.

Soul Saturday already defined. The specific Saturdays prescribed in the Typikon for universal commemoration of the departed are: two Saturdays before Great Lent (Meatfare Saturday and the Saturday of the Prodigal Son Sunday week), the Saturday before Pentecost (Trinity Saturday), and in some traditions, Demetrius Saturday (before the feast of St. Demetrius). These days the faithful bring koliva to church and names of the departed to be commemorated.
