Sunday services primary; Moria pilgrimage Easter is supreme sacred event
The Zion Christian Church's approach to Sabbath observance is not formally standardized. Sunday is recognized as the primary day for worship services. Some members observe Saturday practices. However, the supreme sacred calendar event is the Easter pilgrimage to Zion City Moria, which transcends traditional Sabbath concepts. This major pilgrimage gathering is the central spiritual event of the ZCC year and represents the church's unique African contextualization of Christian sacred time.
