Virginia's Blue Law and Sunday Ice Cream Delivery
The Virginia Sabbath law retains its main features since 1877 and 1908 with a 1916 amendment allowing Sunday ice cream delivery on grounds of necessity. The statute aims to preventSunday commercial activity that offends religious sensibilities, requiring work by laborers or apprentices in a regular fashion. The article notes no need for public alarm, as the law remains unchanged aside from the delivery permission.
