God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Genesis 2 does not tell us much more about the significance of this seventh day. But as we learn more about it from Scripture we realize that the “rest” involved was not a lazy rest. Rather, it was intended to be a day when the working man could enjoy the Creator as well as the creation. He could devote himself more directly to fellowship with God and the worship of His Name. This “sabbath,” or “rest-day,” was a further special blessing which God gave to man so he would be refreshed and strengthened, encouraged and heartened by contemplating all that God had done and stimulated to worship God in response.

FILLING
The Following recipes are from The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas,
which is a beautiful book.
Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until
grainy. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream; egg yolks and lemon juice.
Blend the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture. Knead together to form
a smooth dough. Place the dough on plastic wrap and pat it into a 6 x
8-inch rectangle. Wrap and refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
filling: Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually whip in the
sugar to form a meringue. Whip until the meringue holds soft peaks. Fold in
the remaining ingredients. Dust a rolling pin and the counter with flour.
Roll the chilled dough out into a thin (1/8-inch maximum) rectangle on the
floured counter. Trim the edges so the rectangle measures 24 x 15-inches.
Cut the dough into 3-inch squares and dust with confectioners' sugar. Place
a rounded teaspoon of the filling in the center of each dough square. With
a tiny bit of water, dampen two opposite corner. Fold the two opposite
corners over each other and press the center together lightly. Place the
cookies on a nonstick baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30
minutes, or until lightly browned.
