Quotations from our authors:

"He is the Lord of the Sabbath and in this expression, quoted by all three of the Synoptics, there is a covert reference to the Lord's day. He, as Lord, chooses his own day." - Wilfrid Stott, "A Note on the Word KYPIAKH in Rev 1. 10", NTS 12 (1965): 75 - Wilfrid Stott

"Christians would never have come to worship on another day, apart from this freedom respecting the observance of the Sabbath, a freedom bequeathed to them by the Lord himself." Wilfrid Stott, (The Lord's Day, A Theological Guide to the Christian Day of Worship, 1972, p. 43) - Wilfrid Stott

Of "all parts of the liturgy the feasts are perhaps the most enduring: it is practically impossible to change the day and form of festival." - J. V. Goudoever - J. V. Goudoever
