To many Christians, observing the Sabbath has a two-fold meaning, comprising not working on a Sunday and attending Church. In Britain, attending Church on a Sunday was made compulsory in Tudor Times. The Act of Uniformity passed by Edward VI in 1551 made it an offence not to attend Church on a Sunday. A further Act of Uniformity passed in 1559, soon after Elizabeth I ascended the Crown, also made it a crime not to attend but added that transgressors could be fined 12d for non-attendance. Further restrictions on what people could do on a Sunday were passed in the 17th century. In 1618 it was decreed that you could participate in dancing, archery, leaping, vaulting, May games etc (although only after evening service) but bear and bull-baiting and other sports were forbidden. The Commonwealth era (1649-1660) was less permissive. Ordinances passed in 1650 and 1656 banned travelling and 'vainly and profanely walking' on a Sunday. Nor was this the end of legislation. In 1780 the Sunday Observance Act was passed. This was an act "for preventing certain abuses and profanations of the Lord's Day, called Sunday." Amongst its measures were restrictions on who could work and at what trade, and rules governing places of entertainment. Some of these clauses are still in force today which is why pubs and clubs have to have a special licence for opening at certain times on a Sunday. By the mid-19th century non attendance at Church was no longer an offence. Protestant Dissenters, Jews and Roman Catholics received a specific exemption in 1846 but the Act of Uniformity was still meant to be binding on Anglicans (those attending the Church of England). However, the punishment was now 'ecclesiastical censure'. The use of stocks and the pillory was traditionally reserved for transgressors of what were deemed more minor offences and were most commonly used to punish vagrants. Their use was outlawed in 1837.

The gospel accounts tell us that Jesus and his disciples ate bread and drank wine at the Last Supper. However, bread and wine probably weren’t the only things on the table. The Last Supper may have been a Passover meal. Passover is when Jews remember their exodus from Egypt. The gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew place the meal during the Jewish Passover on the day of Unleavened Bread.* This is the first day of the seven-day Passover celebration. On this day, Jews traditionally traveled to the temple in Jerusalem to sacrifice a Passover lamb. Today, this day of Passover is celebrated in Judaism with the Seder supper. The modern Seder tradition didn’t emerge until the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D., but Jews in Jesus’s time did share in a Passover meal after making their temple sacrifice. It wouldn’t have looked like a modern Seder, and the historical record of the Passover meal before the Seder tradition is less detailed. But we do know that the Passover meal would have included unleavened bread and likely a roast lamb. So if the Last Supper was a Passover meal, we can probably place those two foods on the table. For a fuller menu, we have to do a bit of guesswork. But in 2016, two Italian archaeologists published a study on what was eaten at the Last Supper that included a reconstructed menu. The two archaeologists drew from Bible verses, Jewish texts, ancient Roman literature, and archaeological data to learn about what people ate in Jerusalem during the first century A.D. Based on their research, they hypothesized that the menu for the Last Supper would have featured bean stew, lamb, bitter herbs, fish sauce, unleavened bread, dates, and aromatized wine.
