Something happens in the Gospel stories after Easter, after the Resurrection. The early church begins a pattern of gathering together to tell stories, pray, listen, and break bread together on the first day of the week, mirroring the empty tomb and the startling news that Jesus had risen. Decades and centuries later, churches gather on Sunday mornings to mirror that pattern, to celebrate and remember that on the first day of the week, God was on the move. Indeed, there is symbolism as well to the creation stories of Genesis 1, where God begins to usher in the beauty and wonder of the cosmos on the first day. Of course, this doesn’t mean people of faith haven’t worshipped on other days throughout
