The J. Paul Getty Museum. Ms. 1, vol. 1, fol. 5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was March 3, exactly 1,700 years ago this year when Emperor Constantine decreed that the \u201cvenerable day of the sun,\u201d the Roman <em>dies solis<\/em>, should be a day off, that is, a public holiday without labor (at least in the cities of the Empire). Christians had of course marked Sunday long before the year 321AD, as the day of Christ\u2019s Resurrection. They had marked it such, however, while the day was a work-day. Constantine changed that, and Sunday now became recognized not only as a specifically Christian holy day but also as a day of public rest.<\/p>\n<p>The meanings of this holy-day of Sunday shifted over the ensuing centuries. And ecclesial pronouncements and punishments show that whatever its meaning, the faithful did not always conform to living this day appropriately. The meanings of Sunday living also stretched outwards from Sunday as a day of prayer, and free from labor, to a day that also should be free of sexual relations, or shaving, or horse-riding, and free of various forms of entertainment, including cards, dancing, and alcohol. Moreover, the shape of Sunday will have differed significantly according to one\u2019s station in life (in the broadest sense). The Sunday observance of a Puritan minister in New England, for example, might have been full of words; the Sunday observance of a 19<sup>th<\/sup> century Catholic housewife with a large family might well have been filled with food and its preparation.<\/p>\n<p>And today? \u201cRest is radical,\u201d a contemporary slogan, and a recent book proclaim. The latter advocates \u201cSelf-Care, Yoga, and Doing Less,\u201d all for a list price of $ 24.95. The book promises to show how radical rest can help \u201cboost physical health, and develop stronger emotional resilience.\u201d Maybe for the early 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, in which we live and move and have our being, these wellness practices should have a place in today\u2019s practice of Sunday for Christians. But ultimately, I suggest, the deepest meaning of Sunday for Christians cannot center on curating one\u2019s own well-being and on fashioning a content, healthy, and resilient self. Sunday for us must be more than a private, leisure-filled, home-spa kind of day. Rather, the holy day of Sunday really is about a radical de-centering of the self, for the sake of re-centering ourselves on the One who alone is Holy.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the freedom from Sunday labor, instituted by Constantine 1,700 years ago, for Christians means freedom for that which is essential: turning to God in worship, \u2018making time\u2019 to praise, encountering the Holy One at the heart of the universe \u2013 and discovering ourselves re-centered, refreshed, and newly resilient in that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday for us must be more than a private, leisure-filled, home-spa kind of day.
