	Fast Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members are encouraged to fast for twenty-four hours, leaving out two consecutive meals, from the Saturday before this day until Sunday, and to give the money they save by not eating as a fast offering which will be used to help the needy.
		On Fast Sunday, the regular sacrament meeting is known as fast and testimony meeting, where rather than predetermined speakers on particular subjects, the members are given the chance to voluntarily bear testimony to one another of gospel truths and to share spiritual experiences they have had.
		Fast Sunday was not always on the First Sunday of Each Month.

		If we are guilty of taking our fast day for granted or simply fasting Sunday morning instead of making it two complete meals—24 hours—we are depriving ourselves and our families of the choice spiritual experiences and blessings that can come from a true fast.
		If fasting is discussed and planned in a family setting, the small children will be aware that their parents and older siblings are fasting, and they will understand the purpose of the fast.

		In other words, it arose in the context of what is by now a long-running debate on "Theory" that has been represented in terms of an antagonism between the two "sides": John Holbo's Valve on the one hand; and this blog, Long Sunday, in particular, on the other.

	How did Sunday Keeping Begin? - at BibleStudy.org
		Sunday is never called in the New Testament as "Day of the Resurrection." It is consistently called "First day of the week." The references to Sunday as day of the resurrection first appear in the early part of the fourth century.
		The Sunday resurrection does not mark the completion of Christ's earthly ministry which ended on a Friday afternoon when the Savior said: "It is finished" (John 19:30), and then rested in the tomb according to the commandment.
		Because the basic function of the Saturday fast was to discourage Sabbathkeeping and to enhance Sunday worship, it seems likely that the Saturday fast and Sunday worship both originated contemporaneously and at the same place.
