Black Saturday refers to numerous Saturdays in history, and the term usually refers to a Saturday when something either very good or very bad occurred. In some countries this refers to a Saturday that is always busy due to a holiday season or vacation period. Black Saturday may also refer to a date in history when a massacre occurred, a war started, or financial difficulties were widespread across the country. One thing that is consistent with every Black Saturday is the fact that it occurs on this day of the week.
