Confession Day: History
In Judeo-Christian traditions, confessing sins publicly or privately was considered necessary in order to receive divine forgiveness. The main purpose of the Holy Bible was to make people understand sinfulness and acceptance of their guilt. In Judaism, the Day of Atonement continues as a day of prayer, fasting, and confession.
Elaborate confessions for a bishop or a priest have appeared early in church history. In the 5th century, it was customary in the Roman Church to hear confessions at the beginning of Lent on Holy Thursday and to reconcile the repentant.
Therefore, the practice of freeing sinners was introduced immediately after confession and before the completion of penance. By the end of the 11th century, only the notorious sinners had later reconciled. And those who were guilty of serious sins were kept away from penance until death came near. To correct this abuse, a rule was established by the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 that every Christian must confess to a priest at least once a year.
In the Roman Catholic Church, it is established that confession is a sacrament and that it is necessary to confess all grave sins after baptism, which was also accepted by the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
In the 19th century, the Oxford movement encouraged a revival of private confession. Many later denied the practice of confession, but the Pentecostal and Orthodox churches hold that confession of sins is an important part of worship service.
