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 I am going back and reading as many historical references as I can find in their original context.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.

Collect for Saturday

 Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Collect for Saturdays, Morning Prayer II, BCP 1979, page 99)
