"Peasants, not being slaves, did NOT work all the time. They were essentially farmers and there were seasons (planting and harvest) when the hours were long, but there were also seasons when there was very little to do at all. Furthermore, there were roughly 100 Holy Days — read holidays — every year. Not just every Sunday, but 12 days at Christmas, Easter Week, Ascension Day, Pentecost, etc. etc. etc. — adding up, as I said, to 100 or more."
