   What does 'on the afternoon of that day' mean?

   • In your example, "on the afternoon of that day" = " (on) that day's afternoon" = " (on) that day, in the afternoon" = "in the afternoon (on) that day". I don't know a rule for it. Sometimes only "on" fits the context, sometimes only "in", sometimes no preposition is allowed, and sometimes we have a choice: On a Wednesday afternoon.

   Should we say 'the Saturday afternoon' or 'in' in a sentence?

   • To add a bit more: we would never say "the Saturday afternoon" except when we are talking about an event or series of events that spread over several days. In that case we might talk about "the Saturday afternoon" or "the Friday night", with an implicit "of the event". In keeping with what Kyle said, we could only say "on" with these, not "in".
