So, while Matthew 5:20, in conjunction with Luke 18:12, might provide a pious, post-factum explanation, it is not the actual historical reason for the emergence of Monday as a sacred day within the Christian East; as for your next to last paragraph, that constitutes an entire question list, in and of itself. | |
