I don't know whether this is my own misguided thinking or a faint recollection of what I may have read or heard somewhere, but the concept goes something like this.
A day obviously ends in the evening. A night is a time of danger, of darkness and things associated with darkness. Thus, whenever possible, it is better to extend the protection of the following sacral day over the preceding night, as well.
And possibly agricultural life has something to do with it, as well. After one has attended to the cows and done the various other chores, there's better time to get in the spirit of the weekly holy day than in the morning when one has to feed and milk the cows, Sunday or not.
The whole message of our Faith is wrapped up in Easter weekend.
Amen! Although I cannot in complete honesty say whether I share the Faith. I was raised Christian (well, Protestant) and I still subscribe to much of the doctrine, but I have suspicions of not all the spirit world being fundamentally opposed to Lord Father.
