An account of some Irish Holy Saturday / Easter Vigil traditions and customs:

Christ Enthroned from the Book of Kells (c. 800 AD)

"Rome is wrong, Jerusalem is wrong, Alexandria is wrong, Antioch is wrong - the whole world is wrong: only the Irish and British know what is right!" - 632 AD, the Irish scholar Cummian's response to Rome in defense of the Irish dating of Easter.

A papal delegation to England in 605 AD reported meeting St Colmcille. Upset at his stance on the Easter dating they remarked "On the outermost fringes of the known world" [the Irish] "pimples on the face of the earth" set themselves against us everywhere in the world!
