Editing Monday (section)

=== Christianity ===
The [[early Christianity|early Christian]] [[Didache]] warned believers not to fast on Mondays to avoid [[Judaizers|Judaizing]] (see [[#Judaism|below]]), and suggested fasting on Wednesdays instead.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Didache 8 |url=https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/research_sites/cjl/sites/partners/cbaa_seminar/didache.htm}}</ref>

In the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], Mondays are days on which the [[Angel]]s are commemorated. The [[Octoechos (liturgy)|Octoechos]] contains [[hymn]]s on this theme, arranged in an eight-week cycle, which are chanted on Mondays throughout the year. At the end of [[Divine Services]] on Mondays, the [[dismissal (liturgy)|dismissal]] begins with the words: "May Christ our True God, through the [[intercession]]s, of his most-pure [[Theotokos|Mother]], of the honorable, Bodiless Powers (i.e., the angels) of [[Heaven]]…". In many Eastern [[monastery|monasteries]] Mondays are observed as [[Fasting#Eastern Orthodoxy|fast days]]; because Mondays are dedicated to the angels, and [[monk]]s strive to live an angelic life. In these monasteries, the monks abstain from meat, fowl, dairy products, fish, wine and oil (if a [[feast day]] occurs on a Monday, fish, wine and oil may be allowed, depending upon the particular feast).

Members of the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] spend one evening per week, called [[Family Home Evening]] (FHE) or Family Night.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dollahite |first1=David |last2=Marks |first2=Loren |title=Mormons' Weekly Family Ritual Is an Antidote to Fast-Paced Living |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/03/mormon-family-home-evening/556658/ |journal=[[The Atlantic]]|date=29 March 2018 }}</ref> This is usually a Monday, when families are encouraged to spend time together in study, prayer and other family activities.
