Canon XLIX.
During Lent the Bread must not be offered except on the Sabbath Day and
on the Lord's Day only.
Notes.
Ancient Epitome of Canon XLIX.
In Lent the offering should be made only on the Sabbath and on the
Lord's day.
Hefele.
This canon, which was repeated by the Trullan Synod in its fifty-second
canon, orders that on ordinary week days during Lent, only a Missa
Præsanctificatorum should take place, as is still the custom with the
Greeks on all days of penitence and mourning, when it appears to them
unsuitable to have the full liturgy, and as Leo Allatius says, for this
reason, that the consecration is a joyful act. A comparison of the
above sixteenth canon, however, shows that Saturday was a special
exception.
To the Saturdays and Sundays mentioned by Hefele must be added the
feast of the Annunciation, which is always solemnized with a full
celebration of the Liturgy, even when it falls upon Good Friday.

About this blog...
I have read a lot of conflicting material on the subject of the Sabbath and the Lord's Day and because of this I have decided to start my own historical research. I am going back and reading as many historical references as I can find in their original context. This blog will be a summery of what I find.
The Basic Guidelines that I Will Be Following:
- I will not take any quotes out of context.
- I will try to categorize by place and date.
- I will try my best to only post clearly documented material. Where this is not possible, I will not post the material or else I will make it clear that the
material's authenticity is questionable.
- I will keep my personal assumptions to a minimum.
Points of Interest to Me:
- The early Christian church view of Saturday as the Sabbath and Sunday as the Lord's Day.
- The early Celtic church and Saturday Sabbath observance.
- The Roman Catholic Church's claim to have changed the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday.
- The Eastern Orthodox church and how it distinguished between "the Sabbath" (Saturday) and "the Lord's
day" (Sunday).
- The dynamics between modern Christians with different perspectives on this subject.
