Sunday knitting: what priests say
Regarding this belief, priests often argue. One part believes that needlework should not be done on a day off, because knitting and sewing is a direct concern for the house.
But another part of the priests believes that you can knit and sew at the weekend. This is because the hobby is not mandatory and is carried out only at the behest of the soul of the needlewoman. It simply decorates leisure as well as watching a movie, reading a book, or making Sunday prayers.
The second part of the clergy also believes that knitting does not distract from righteous deeds, but rather helps to immerse yourself in your soul. In addition, these priests believe that it is really necessary to somehow be distracted from serious worries about home, work and other vain affairs.
Why can’t you do needlework on Sunday?
Previously, when modern progress had not yet touched the life of ordinary people, needlework was the main activity of young housewives. However, in modern times, needlework is becoming more a hobby than occupations with the role of immediate necessity. Again, due to the great influence of the church, this kind of activity was banned on Sundays.
Important! The Church believes that the last day of the week should be dedicated to serving the Lord, praying, thinking about saving the soul, and resting with the body. Of course, the church does not indicate that you should lie in bed all Sunday. This rest should affect only the soul.
If, nevertheless, a woman believes that she should not do knitting on Sunday, you must also know on which days any housework is also forbidden.
Rest your soul and thoughts should be on the days:
- Christmas
- Baptisms
- Easter
- Assumption
- Transformations;
- Annunciation
- Trinity.
On such holidays, it is best to go with the family to the church and perform regular prayers to save the soul.
Can I knit on Sunday evening?
In addition to work on Sunday, there is a superstition that work cannot be done at night. That is why women also wonder if it is possible to work on Sunday evening. But if you study this issue from a historical point of view, in the literary monuments of Russia there are works where the characters were engaged in embroidery in the dark during the day of the weekday.
Attention! Priests believe that it is possible to do these things if a campaign to the church was made in advance. Thus, in the evening you can prepare your clothes for future work achievements and other things. In addition, in the evening you need to prepare everything for the upcoming breakfast, prepare tools or documents for the start of the work week.
Whether to do needlework on Sunday is a personal rather than superstitious question. If you really want to escape from the boring work, why not do your favorite pastime in a quiet hobby?
