Sabbath / Sunset


As noted in a previous post – I will take a Sabbath from fasting on Sundays. Fasting often is seen as a preparation for feasting in religious terms. Athanasius saw the fasting of Lent as preparation for the The Great Fifty Days of Easter, which he regarded as one long Sunday (but I digress!) For me I am going to break my weekly fast from meat at sundown on Saturday night and start again at Sundown on Sunday night

O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. =Amen.=
