communion fast day
c. In Scottish Presbyterian churches: a day on which a congregation undertakes spiritual preparation before a Communion Sunday, now typically marked by attendance of church services and the confession of sins and personal repentance, but originally also involving fasting. Also more fully communion fast day, sacramental fast day.Typically the Thursday of the week preceding the yearly or twice-yearly Communion Sunday, when shops, schools, etc., in the local area would be closed; in early times often on the preceding Sunday. Since the end of the 19th century preparatory fast days have been observed by only a few communities, mainly in the Highlands and Islands.Quot. 1640 could alternatively be interpreted as showing use of sense 1b, but it seems more likely to belong here.
