Most Christian denominations have their religious observances on Sunday because they say they are commemorating the day Christ rose from the dead.

Some denomination meet on Saturday, in keeping with the Old Testament commandment to keep the 7th day of the week a holy day.

Another answer

The Sabbath means rest. Just as God created the universe in six days, and rested on the seventh, He said that we are to rest on the seventh day.

Exodus 28:8-11 says:

8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: 9 You are to labor six days and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work-you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates. 11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.

Another answer

Roman Emperor Constantine in the 4th century commanded that all must now keep the day of The Sun. He was a sun worshiper his entire life and was only baptised just before his death. In order to synchronize followers of Yeshua (Jesus) with pagan rituals he forbade the following of all things "Jewish" including worshiping on the Sabbath under, eventually, the penalty of death.

To that point almost all believers kept the feasts, the Sabbaths and other scriptural things that were passed down to them by the Apostles that God had commanded that all who follow Him were to do forever.

Point of fact, the beginning of the 1st day is not Sunday morning. That is not how God measures days. (Read Genesis 1) The beginning of a day is at sunset. So Yeshua (Jesus) rose sometime shortly after the sun set on what is referred to as Saturday at the end of the weekly Sabbath.

This is important because the distinction God makes throughout scripture is that any people who belong to Him will worship on the day He called the Sabbath not some arbitrary day of our own choosing.

Saturday, which is the seventh day and still the Jewish Sabbath. In honour of the Resurrection, Christians changed their Sabbath to Sunday, the first day of the week. That was after the time of The Bible.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

"So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the Seventh Day, having finished His task, God rested from all His work. And GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY and DECLARED IT HOLY, because it was the day when He rested from His work of creation." (Gen.2:1-3 NLT New Living Translation)

Jesus Christ is the Old Testament, Almighty Creator "WORD" of God and LORD who MADE MAN... who MADE THE SABBATH DAY... and who MADE THE SABBATH DAY HOLY!

"In the beginning the WORD already existed, He was WITH God, and He WAS God. He was in the beginning WITH God. He created everything there is. Nothing existsthat He didn't make [including the Sabbath day]." (John 1:1-3 NLT)

"But although the world was made through Him, the world didn't recognize Him when He came." (verse 10)

There is no Scripture that says, "Jewish Sabbath." Nor were there any Jews around when He made it.

Jesus Christ is the LORD who MADE THE SABBATH DAY ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION. He says so Himself:

"...The Sabbath was made to benefit PEOPLE [to benefit all people... all races and nations... not just Jews], and not people to benefit the Sabbath. And I, the Son of Man, AM MASTER EVEN OF THE SABBATH! '" (Mark 2:27-28 NLT)

Nor is there any Scripture that changes the Sabbath day to another day. The Sabbath day on the seventh day of the seven-day week that the world still recognizes will always look back to REMEMBER CREATION! For all of mankind to REMEMBER that he was specially created by Jesus Christ [Gen.1:26 & John 1:1-3] in the image of God -- not in the image of fish, birds... or apes.

It's Satan-worshiping mankind who chose "not to remember" the Sabbath Day, God and creation at the same moment that he chose "not to believe" the Words his Creator says; and opted instead to believe the lies of this world's god, and to worship and obey him:

"...you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does... There is no Truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a LIAR and the FATHER OF LIES. So when I tell you the Truth, you just naturally don't believe Me!" (John 8:44-45 NLT)

The Seventh Day of God's Divinely-inspired seven-day week has always been the one and only HOLY Sabbath Day [MADE HOLY BY JESUS CHRIST for any nation that cares to remember their humble beginnings... and the One who made them]. And it will always be the:

"...day of rest DEDICATED TO THE LORD YOUR[Creator] GOD..." (Ex.20:10 NLT).

It's the same Sabbath Day Jesus kept Himself when He walked the earth as a man:

"When He came into the village of Nazareth, His boyhood home, He WENT AS USUAL to the synagogue ON THE SABBATH..." (Luke 4:16 NLT)

Biblical days start and end at sunset. The 7th day (Sabbath) of the week is sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. This is the only day of the week that is blessed by God. There are also 7 annual Festival/Holy Days throughout the year that God has set aside for all to observe. These outline God's Plan to save all mankind from the 2nd and eternal death.

All days are special for Jesus but Sunday is the most special day, as it is the Christian Sabbath to commemorate that Jesus rose on a Sunday.

Is it holy week This week why?

Holy Week is the entire week before Easter Sunday. Usually celebration/commemoration of the events leading to the death of Jesus Christ begin on Palm Sunday. In some traditions, the Wednesday of Holy Week is sometimes known as Spy Wednesday. The next significant date in the church's calendar is Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday. Good Friday, (the horrifying day that Christians believe the human race nailed their own God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to the cross) follows. The last day of Holy Week is Holy Saturday (not, as is often believed, Easter Saturday, which is a week later). The day that Jesus Christ is believed to have risen from the dead and ascended into Heaven to claim His throne is known as Easter Sunday (or, more properly, the First Sunday of Easter) and, although celebrated seamlessly as part of the events commemorated in Holy Week, is not in the same week of the year as Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday. The week of the year in which Easter (and, therefore, Holy Week) falls is determined by a complicated formula related to the full moon after the vernal equinox. This means that Holy Week can start as early as March 15 and as late as April 18 in the Western Christian tradition. Due to use of a slightly different formula, the Orthodox churches can celebrate Holy Week and Easter in a completely different week.
