∙ 11y agoIts Sunday - the sabbath day.The Sabbath day is a Saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week which Catholics use has their Holy Day
I was raised Catholic, and I'm hereby confirming that the Sabbath Day is Saturday. Sunday is not nor ever was the Sabbath. Emperor Constantine did not call Sunday the Sabbath when he decreed it to be the day of rest; it's the day of the sun god, which had many worshipers in Constantine's time.
Why billions of so-called Christians for almost 17 centuries have gone along with Constantine is beyond me.
