BIBLE VERSES

SUNDAY, THE FIRST DAY

This is a symbol of the rousing to life at the opening of a manvantara. It connotes the activity of the Higher Self (sun).

"Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." - MATTHEW xxviii. 1.

The period represented is now referred to as Sunday because of the association with the visible source of life and light, warmth and power, which is in every way adapted to express the sense of liberation which comes to the risen Christ or perfected soul. The "Marys” bringing "spices" symbolise the quickening and purifying of the emotions through the Rising from the dead lower nature.
