Originally It Was 3 o'Clock In the I Aftermoon, The word "nbon" is originally de- rived from the Latin nona bora. the ninth hour of the Romans, the 3 o'clock of today, but no clew is given as to when or why the change took place which made "noon" mean midday, or 12 o'clock. This will be discovered if we-go back to early times, for then great deference was paid to Saturday afternoon as a preparation for. the Sabbath, when work was eased all over the land. In 968 King Edgar his ecclesiastical laws laid it dows that "Sabbath shall be observed from Saturday 'noon' till light appears on Monday morning.' Johnson, commenting upon this, says "noon" is 8 o'clock, and remained so till the reformation. How, then, came it to mean 12 o'clock? In this way: Monks, by their rules, were not to dine till they bad sung thelr "nones." or noontide service. When midday, 12 o'clock, began to be the time of eating and drinking the monks, who were also the masters of language in the dark ages, anticipated both their devotions and their meals by singing "nones" immediately after the 12 o'clock service. Thus the "noon" of old was merged into the "noon" of today, and for a time distinction was made between the two by calling 13 o'clock noon and 8 o'clock "bigh noon," as it appears in "The Shepherd's Al manack."
