Is mass on both Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday mandatory? Or does going on Saturday count as Sunday Easter mass?

Thank you!
 
Holy Saturday is not a Holy Day Of Obligation. You can go to one of the vigil masses on Saturday night that fulfill the Sunday obligation, just as you can for any other Sunday Mass.
 
What leads you to think that it is mandatory to attend both the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday? Where are you getting this information?

I think that some people think that because the Easter Vigil is a different liturgy than the actual Easter Sunday Mass, it might be required to attend both instead of either one. This question appears on here every year.
 
You could be tho right. I think it’s important for people to consider where they are getting information. If a web site said you must go to both the Vigil and on Sunday, then you should know that you’re not getting accurate information at that site. If a friend said this then take other things the friend said with a grin of salt, etc.
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, but traditionally, the eucharist is taken to a place of repose after Holy Thursday and is not distributed again until Easter, so if you attend a Mass on holy Saturday where the Euchrist is celebrated, you can be sure that it will count for Easter.

The Eucharist is distributed to the faithful on Good Friday, too; however, there is no consecration at the Good Friday liturgy.

The Easter Vigil (Holy Saturday) fulfills the obligation of attending Mass on Easter Sunday.
