Her...I had never heard of the Sabbatarians before. Here we have what are called Seven Day Adventists and Closed Brethrens who have some of the ideologies you mentioned.<br />I will google the Sabbatarians and do some reading.<br />I grew up following the traditions living in my mum's house....we are Anglican.<br />As I mentioned in my post I'm not superstitious, but a tourist drowned on Good Friday while staying at a hotel on the south east of the island. The young people couldn't care less when they go to the beach, so even though Good Friday is taboo, they will still go on that day. It's we older folk that adhere to the tradition.<br />Yes, Lincoln is already available on dvd, so enjoy. It can also be viewed online.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513726410126955599.post-58606961699000890232013-04-03T04:24:25.118-04:002013-04-03T04:24:25.118-04:00I know this is focusing on one particular statemen...I know this is focusing on one particular statement but a belief that not eating meat on Good Friday "ensures that no blood is shed in the slaughtering of animals" is akin to the Sabbatarians on Lewis who will not countenance the purchase of Sunday papers because people have to work to produce them. Meat consumed on Good Friday is not killed on Good Friday any more than a Sunday paper is produced on a Sunday. Monday's paper is produced on Sunday but people still buy that.<br /><br />Most of New Zealand's shops are closed by law<br />on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The illogicality is that shops and so on catering purely for the leisure and tourism industry can open. Easter weekend probably sees more people on beaches etc than any other weekend.<br /><br />Gosh. Is 'Lincoln' already available outside cinemas?GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.com
