Abstract

Throughout history, the legal regulation of holidays has been the product of human needs for rest and entertainment, religious beliefs, and pragmatic economic imperatives dictating the optimal use of time to produce goods. The first part of the article examines the significance of the division between dies fasti and dies nefasti and explores the categorisation of holidays in the Roman pagan era and their legal implications. The author then looks at the origins of Sunday as a day of rest and considers Theodosius’ reform of the Roman calendar. This reform established the liturgical year in the emerging Christian state, and enduringly shaped the calendar of most European countries. The third part considers the attitude of the late Roman state towards Jewish and pagan festivals, and the innovations in medieval ecclesiastical legislation concerning holidays. The final section of the paper reflects on the role of tradition in the state’s recognition of religious festivals as public holidays.
罗马-教会法律传统中的 De feriis
纵观历史,节假日的法律规定是人类对休息和娱乐的需求、宗教信仰和务实的经济要求的产物,这些要求决定了如何最佳利用时间生产商品。文章的第一部分研究了Dies fasti和Dies nefasti划分的意义,并探讨了罗马异教时代的节日分类及其法律意义。然后,作者研究了星期日作为休息日的起源,并探讨了狄奥多西对罗马历法的改革。这一改革确立了新兴基督教国家的礼仪年,并对大多数欧洲国家的日历产生了持久的影响。第三部分探讨了晚期罗马国家对犹太教和异教节日的态度,以及中世纪教会关于节日立法的创新。论文的最后一部分思考了传统在国家承认宗教节日为公共假日中所起的作用。
