From the Office of Readings for Holy Saturday

This about says it all

From an ancient homily for Holy Saturday

"Something strange is happening – there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear."

I only wish I could preach like that...
