2.5.3   Selepas itu Hari Tuhan (Hari Ahad / Lord’s Day) juga belum menjadi lazim

Boleh diketahui daripada catatan berikut bahawa hingga abad ke-12, tidak kurang pemercaya Kristian di Eropah yang belum memegang Hari Tuhan dan masih memerlukan seruan dan galakan secara positif pihak gereja.

I. Pada tahun 791 Masihi, Charles The Great menurunkan perintah kepada Uskup Friul di Itali supaya semua orang menghormati Hari Tuhan:

They decreed {AD791} that all people should, with due reverence and devotion, honor the Lord’s day. [1]

II. Pada tahun 826 Masihi, sewaktu Eugenius II menjadi Paus, masih terdapat banyak pemercaya Kristian yang belum memegang Hari Tuhan dan memerlukan Paus untuk menurunkan perintah dan memperbetulkan keadaan:

And thereupon Pope Eugenius, in a synod held at Rome about 826…gave directions that he parish prist should admonish such offenders,…[2]

In 829, where in the prelates complain that ‘Lord’s day was not kept with reverence as became religion. [3]

III.  Tambahan pula ada anggota yang berasa sangsi terhadap Hari Tuhan:

they desired answers, and that {answer} which concerned the Lord’s day was that they should desist from all secular work etc. [4]

IV.  Hingga tahun 928 Masihi, di England, raja masih perlu menurunkan perintah larangan bekerja pada Hari Tuhan.

King Athelston… in the year 928, mode a law that there should be no marketing or civil pleadings on the Lord’s day.

V. Hari Tuhan juga belum berakar di Norway

Nor did the Sunday festival fail to gain a footing in Norway, Heylyn tells us of the piety of a Norwegian king by the name of Olous AD1028:”For being taken up one Sunday in some serious thought, and having in his hand a small walking strick…”. [5]

VI.  Di Sepanyol pula, hingga tahun 1050 selepas Masihi, raja masih perlu menurunkan perintah agar rakyat dididik untuk beribadah di gereja padaHari Tuhan (Hari Ahad / Lord’s Day).
