The Sabbath of The Bible is Saturday. Christians adopted Sunday as their holy day when their cult absorbed the sun-god Mithras, whose day is Sunday, naturally. Christianity also took the Nativity story and many other important images from Mithraism.

The Bible did say that Saturday is the Sabbath not Sunday. It says so in the fourth commandment "remember the seventh day to keep it holy". And Saturday is the seventh day, not Sunday.

God rested on the seventh day, but Jews rest on Saturday, their sabbath. Christians (are meant to) rest on Sundays.

EDIT: I believe that Sunday is the Sabbath, which would explain why Latino Cathloics start their week on monday, just as God did... Now Christians and Catholics celebrate the sabbath on Sunday, and Jews on Saturday, so it depends on how you interpret it, but I feel Sunday is the seventh day...

EDIT: Sunday may seem like the seventh day. But if you really think about it, our calender is different from the Jewish calender and our calender states that Saturday is the seventh day, so the fourth commandment may be stating to the day of Saturday as the seventh day.

Sunday, even thought Saturday is the 7th day, technically

Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But in the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thystranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heave and earth, the sea, andall that in them is, and rested on the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."It is generally accepted that Saturday is the Sabbath, and Sunday a commemoration of the Resurrection.

How can a Christian live out the fourth commandment?

Jewish Christians at first continued to worship on the Sabbath (Saturday), but very early after that they started their public worship on the "first day of the week" (Sunday) as that was the day that Jesus Christ resurrected. Most of Christianity worships on Sunday even to this day. It is not only a day of worship, but also a day of rest (Usually) and fellowship with other Christians or family. In my church on Sunday we have Sunday school, a worship hour, then Sunday night we have a time of singing and another preaching service. On Wednesday we have a bible study.
