Fr Martyn’s Mutterings Christian Faith & Culture
or How Many Names Can A Sunday Have?
NAME 1: REFRESHMENT SUNDAY
The Early and the Medieval Church helped ordinary people to remember
the great festivals with popular names like, Refreshment Sunday, Thomas
Sunday, Michaelmas and Candlemas, which helped indicate key times of
the year. Refreshment Sunday marked the midway point of the Lenten
season, when Lent meant no milk, eggs, cheese, fish or meat – it was quite
an ordeal. Added to this, in the Northern Hemisphere, it was the
beginning of Spring and people were lightening up after the dark grim
winter, so mid Lent became an occasion to relax a little. This little bit of
indulgence allowed flowers in Church, and the eating of the Simnel Cake,
which is actually an Easter cake, as a sign that fasting was coming to an
end as the Great Easter Festival was drawing ever closer. So, for this
reason this day was called Refreshment Sunday.
NAME 2: MOTHERING SUNDAY
Added to this, in the liturgy, the opening verse of scripture for this day is,
“Rejoice Jerusalem! Be glad for her, you who love her, rejoice with her”.
Saint Paul called the heavenly Jerusalem “our Mother.” So another name
was coined for this day “Mothering Sunday”, it is now occasion when we
give thanks for our own mums. It also a memorial of our Mother Church
and it reminds us that this Parish community belongs to a Diocese, a
Province and a National Church and in turn, that belongs to the worldwide Anglican Communion of 80 million people. Last of all, we remember
Mary, the Mother of the Lord.
NAME 3: LAETARE SUNDAY
The Latin word for ‘rejoice’, in “Rejoice Jerusalem...” is Laetare – so yet
another nickname was added to this Sunday. With all this remembering,
rejoicing and relaxing of the Lenten rules, the sombre dark violet colour of
the priest’s vestments were changed to a rose colour. In the 1960s that
custom was dropped, however the Church of England’s new prayer book
has restored the tradition.
All of these elements shows how worship and liturgy evolves and changes
over the centuries – all so we can “Rejoice in the Lord”.
