Le Jour du Seigneur
French TV series or program / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Jour du Seigneur (English: The Lord's Day) is a France 2 religious programme that presents Christianity, usually broadcasting Catholic mass and services, amongst other things related to religion.[3] It was the first broadcast Vatican Catholic mass and is the longest running French television show.[4][5] The show was first broadcast on October 1949, an overall total of 73 years, one of the highest lengths ever for a TV show.[6] The show was originally called L'Emission religieuse (The Religious Show) and later renamed Le Jour du Seigneur in 1954.[7] The show has experienced a significant drop of television viewers over the span of several decades due to the decline of religious observance, and overall decline in rates of Christianity.[8]
