Sunday is a special because it brings chirstans to go to church rejion god.

Answer:

When the Church began in Jerusalem in 31 A.D., it was primarily Jewish. Gentiles began to come into the Church and it spread throughout the immediate areas. The Roman Empire was the ruling people at the time and they soon accepted 'Christianity' into their society with the Emperor Constantine in circa 315 A.D. who was a sun worshipper like his father before him and held Sunday as the venerable day - 'Sol Invictus' or the Invincible Sun. In the Council of Nicea of 325 A.D., the first mention of Sunday as a day of worship for the new religion is stated.

Not long afterwards, another Roman Emperor, Theodosius, made Sunday the only day of worship for all citizens of the Empire in his Edict as follows:

'Recorded as Codex Theodosianus 11.7.13, the Christian Emperor Theodosius and Gratian decreed the mandatory observation of the first day of the week as the Lord's day.'

"Let the course of all law suits and all business cease on Sunday, which our fathers have rightly called the Lord's day, and let no one try to collect either a public or a private debt; and let there be no hearing of disputes by any judges either those required to serve by law or those voluntarily chosen by disputants. And he is to be held not only infamous but sacrilegious who has turned away from the service and observance of holy religion on that day."

The rest is history but God never changed His Sabbath Day.
