!!! Tertullian's Apology

Tertullian (160-225AD) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertullian - 3rd century church father who wrote extensively from Carthage. Towards the end of his life he became disillusioned with what he saw was corruption creeping in the church and joined the Montanists, but many of his earlier writings are still foundational in the study of the early church.

"These send us to the religion of Persia, though we are far from adoring a painted sun, like them who carry about his image everywhere upon their bucklers. This suspicion took its rise from hence, because it was observed that Christians prayed with their faces towards the east. But some of you likewise out of an affectation of adoring some of the celestial bodies wag your lips towards the rising sun; but if we, like them, celebrate Sunday as a festival and day of rejoicing, it is for a reason vastly distant from that of worshipping the sun; for we solemnize the day after Saturday in contradistinction to those who call this day their Sabbath, and devote it to ease and eating, deviating from the old Jewish customs, which they are now very ignorant of." - Chapter XVI
