This is a prayer for Holy Saturday;
O God, creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, 1979. Public Domain.)
Icon of Christ the Bridegroom - "Extreme Humility"
This icon represents Christ's complete obedience to the will of God, even to the point of humiliation and physical abuse. It represents his beatings at the hands of Pilate, as well as his crucifixion on the cross. It shows Jesus standing within the tomb
