RE: History of Sunday as non-working day
I believe that store openings in England have limited hours on Sundays still, based on store size. In some small communities in the west of Scotland nothing is open on Sundays still - no restaurants, not even Fish and Chip shops, but it's not a law that stops them in Scotland - just a choice! Until very recently ferry services did not run to some of the western isles.
Sunday has always been special to me. We dressed up neatly do our service and have lunch with grandpa and grandma. Good old days. The icing on the cake is a nice trip to a park with blooming flowers
Same here. We were not even allowed to play outside on Sundays when I was a child. Sunday dinner in Scotland (lunch) was always roast beef with Yorkshire Pudding and loads of veggies. We then had Sunday School in the afternoon and church at night! It was a day dedicated totally to God and family.
