Jesus allegedly rose from the dead on a Sunday so most Christians now recognize Sunday as the Sabbath.
Our Lord rose from the dead on Sunday.
Because it is said that it's the day when Jesus was resurrected.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead on Sunday. And most Christians believe that from very early times in Christianity that Sunday was the day of worship moving away from the Sabbath (Saturday). A New Covenant was established by God when Christ was risen from the dead and so a new day of worship (Sunday) was established by the church (Body of believers in Jesus Christ.) Sunday is important for these reasons.

In Christianity it is the Sabbath, to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. For Christians it is the Sabbath, whereas for other religions a different day is more important. Jews have Saturday as their Sabbath, as they still celebrate it on the 7th day of the week. (See the related question below). For Muslims, Friday is an important day.

because Jesus is believed to have risen from the dead on Sunday (Easter), a week or 2 after arriving in Jerusalem on palm Sunday. also the orthodox Jews were in the synagogues for the sabbath on saturdays, so early christians had to go there to worship the following day and it became embedded in christian culture. I'm sure there's many other reasons but those are the first to come to mind

When God created the world, he rested on Sunday, therefore Sunday is the day of rest and a holy day. Because it is the day of rest, there is not much else to do, and because it is a holy day, Christians worship the most on it.

This day is a day that is set aside to honor our Lord and savior for all that he has done for us , we owe our very existence to God, for it is he that created the world and everything that's in it including us. God led the Hebrew children out of Egypt, led them through the red sea on dry land then through the wilderness, came down from heaven to earth, a cloud by day a fire by night, God was our GPS through the wilderness to keep a promise that he made to our forefathers Abraham, Issac and Jacob to possess the land that he promised to them and their heirs because of faith. God saw to it that we arrived, That was important to God, because God honors his word . Moses was our leader God gave the ten commandments to Moses on mount Sinai , one of the ten commandments was to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy.
