Sunday sessions

Sundays should be spent doing a little bit of something and a whole lot of nothing..and the whole lot of nothing should involve music, a good book, music, a comfy couch or on a perfect day a beach, music, good company (some days the best company you can get is yourself)..clearly music is a big part of any good Sunday. And like a friend of mine pointed out to me yesterday, Sunday is the day of the sun...



CATHOLIC WORLD, published in 1894:

"The church took the pagan philosophy and made it the buckler of faith against the heathen. She took the pagan Roman Pantheon, temple of all gods, and made it sacred to all the martyrs; so it stands to this day. She took the pagan Sunday and made it the Christian Sunday. She took the pagan Easter and made it the feast we celebrate during this season..........."The sun was a foremost god with heathendom..............There is, in truth, something royal, kingly, about the sun, making it a fit emblem of JESUS, the Sun of justice. Hence the church in these countries would seem to have said, 'Keep that old pagan name. It shall remain consecrated, sanctified.' And thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder [the god of light and peace], became the Christian Sunday, sacred to JESUS.---Vol. 58, # 348, March 1894, p.809.

That might have to be my something for the day...

Last night at work this song of Minor Majority came on, a Norwegian band I haven't listened to for ages..made me smile, although their music is kind of melancholic. Great band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-CKC5w8Q1A
