WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Lord’s Day in Christianity is generally Sunday, the principal day of communal worship. It is observed by most Christians as the weekly memorial of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is said in the canonical Gospels to have been witnessed alive from the dead early on the first day of the week.

Detailed explanation-2: -As one of His Ten Commandments, God commanded that we keep the Sabbath day holy (see Exodus 20:8–11). One of the ways we keep this commandment is to meet together on Sundays to worship God and give Him thanks.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main meeting each Sunday is called sacrament meeting. This meeting consists of songs, prayers, and sermons (or “talks”) given by different members of the congregation every week. But the most important part of the meeting is when we take the sacrament (similar to Communion).

Detailed explanation-4: -While Jesus himself did not make a final break with the Sabbath, he so weakened it in the minds of his followers that they found it natural to move from worshipping on the Sabbath-a day of restrictions-to Sunday, a day associated with the joyous freedom brought about by the resurrection of Jesus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Jewish Sabbath (from Hebrew shavat, “to rest”) is observed throughout the year on the seventh day of the week-Saturday. According to biblical tradition, it commemorates the original seventh day on which God rested after completing the creation.
