On February 16, 2026, Vijesti News reported that the Montenegrin Parliament had reinstated Sunday as a day of rest by law, presenting the decision as a measure to give workers time off for their health and well-being. The report also noted that both the left and the right found common ground regarding the legislated Sunday rest. At the same time, the measure requires shops to remain open on Saturday.
This is what Sunday laws ultimately lead to—not only state-imposed religious observance but also the desecration of the true Lord’s Day by shifting commerce and labor onto the biblical Sabbath. Vijesti News reported the following:
• “Parliament has adopted amendments to the Internal Trade Act, allowing the return of Sunday holidays for wholesale and retail stores. The decision was supported by 62 MPs and was supported by both the government and the opposition.” [1]
• “The amendments to Article 35a of this Law submitted by the deputies of the Europe Now Movement (PES), require a non-working Sunday to protect the health of workers in wholesale and retail stores and their right to a weekly rest on public and other holidays.” [1]
• “The law also stipulates that the opening hours of the facility from Monday to Saturday will be determined by the retailer.” [1]
For those closely watching the global Sunday-rest movement, the pattern is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Across parts of Europe and other regions, lawmakers are openly debating or reinstating legal protections that establish Sunday as a mandatory day of rest. Whether justified on the grounds of worker protection, family preservation, cultural identity, or religious heritage, the formula remains the same: civil law is being used to secure Sunday as the uniform day of rest.
Given this reality, it is inconceivable to suggest that Christian nationalist movements in the United States would have no interest in pursuing similar legislation. Both Protestant and Catholic voices frequently call for restoring America’s “Christian foundations,” strengthening traditional family life, and reclaiming moral order through public policy. When Sunday-rest laws are being promoted internationally as a remedy for social and cultural decline, it is not difficult to envision similar proposals eventually surfacing in the United States.
Historically, blue laws in America were justified on these very grounds—protecting families, encouraging church attendance, and preserving national morality. Today, influential religious leaders are increasingly aligning with political figures in calls to restore the nation’s former Christian identity. If this trajectory continues, proposals for Sunday legislation will emerge once again.

Not surprising. Coming soon to America, and the rest of the world.
