History / Poland's Baptism 1050th anniversary -- a return to sanity? [13]
@alien thank you for your reply. This is a Polish History Forum, I hope I can post questions about Polish History in it.
@oathbreaker thank you for your interest. I believe this is credible information, from culture.pl/en/article/historical-facts-about-the-baptism-of-poland there is an estimated date (not attested) 14th April 966. However it does not mention the sources, the academic article or the book that states that. I would like to know the sources, as this is a study about the possible historic changes in the early Christian faith. Any help is appreciated concerning the indication of sources.

Hi! I found information that king Miezko I was baptised according to the Roman (Catholic?) rites. However, he was baptised on a Saturday. The Lord's day for Catholics is Sunday. I thought this could point to existing pre-Baptism Day rites in Poland based on Orthodox Christian faith. However, after reading this post here theorthodoxlife.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/the-sabbath/ it seems that the books of the Orthodox faith also declare since very early time that the Lord's day is Sunday and not Saturday. I would love to hear thoughts and know about historic sources why king Miezko was baptised on a Saturday, because as a king for sure his baptism day might have been selected with care and for a reason. Any advice is welcome. :)
