LINGGO - Araw ng Pagsamba

Para sa mga tagasunod ni Cristo, ang LINGGO ay ARAW NG PANGILIN bilang pagtupad sa UTOS ng Diyos na gawing BANAL ang araw ng SABAT. Ayon sa kasaysayan ng PAGSASAMBA sa raw ng LINGGO ay ganito:

Early Christians continued to pray and rest on the seventh day. By the 2nd century AD some Christians also observed Sunday, the day of the week on which Jesus had risen from the dead and on which the Holy Spirit had come to the apostles. Paul and the Christians of Troas, for example, gathered on Sunday "to break bread,"  Soon Christians were observing only Sunday and not the Sabbath. Patristic writings attest that by the second century, it had become commonplace to celebrate the Eucharist in a corporate day of worship on the first day. A Church Father, Eusebius, stated that for Christians, "the sabbath had been transferred to Sunday".

In other words, may paliwanag. Hindi tulad ng mga KINAUGALIAN ng ilang mga nagsulputang mga sekta at kulto na SUMASAMBA sa araw ng HUWEBES na walang paliwanag kung paano at kung saan galing ang turong ganyan.

There will be a near total ban on shops opening on Sundays by 2020 

Polish president Andrzej Duda has approved a law to phase out Sunday shopping by 2020. 

The law was supported by trade unions and by the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS), who piloted it through both houses of parliament. The unions see it as a protection of workers’ rights while PiS wants to allow people more time to spend with their families. 

Sunday shopping is now restricted in Poland to the first and last Sunday of the month until the end of the year. Next year, it will only be permitted on the last Sunday of the month, until a near total ban comes into force in 2020. 

Shops will still be able to open on Sundays before major holidays such as Christmas, and some bakeries and online stores will be exempt. 

In a statement issued in November, the Polish bishops’ conference said the bill did not go far enough, and that everyone should be free from work on Sundays.
