For the first Christians, the first day of the week was important because it was the day of the Lord (Revelations 1:10). It is that day on which the community usually reunites to break the Eucharistic bread (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2). It is evening. The timeline with which the evangelical passage begins is precious. Perhaps it indicates the late hour at which the early Christians were accustomed to gathering for their celebration.
