The Jewish Sabbath was Saturday, however the Sabbath began Friday with sundown and ended Saturday with sundown.
Sunday became the Christian day of worship because Sunday is the day Christ rose from the dead. Catholics have retained the Jewish custom of the Sabbath beginning the day before sundown. Thus for Catholics "Sunday" (the Sabbath) technically begins on Saturday evening with sundown, and ends Sunday with sundown.
It is up to the Lord in the White throne of Judgement, but the Bible clearly states the 7th day is the Sabbath.
Some people believe that the Bible describes Sunday as the first day of the week, so some calendar makers list Sunday as the start of the week. Most calendars in Europe start Monday as the first day of the week, as do many planner calendars, because Saturday and Sunday are described a weekends (thus, shown at the end of the week). The Bible describes the Sabbath as the seventh day of the week based on the creation of the world, since G-d created "rest" as the end of creation. Thus the Jewish religion must refrain from work every seven days and define this day as the end of the week. This day is Saturday on modern calendars. As a result, the day after the Sabbath (Sunday) is the first day of the new week. In Israel, since Friday is often taken up with preparing for the Sabbath, the "weekend" is Friday and Saturday. As a result, many schools and offices are open Sunday through Thursday. Before the five day week was set up, offices and schools closed early on Friday so that people could get home and prepare for the Sabbath. THe Catholic church took up Sunday as the "Lord's Day" because that was the day of Easter and continued with the original definition of this day as the first of the week. Since it was a "holy day" they made it and the original Sabbath the days to refrain from work and they therefore became the weekend.
ANSWERdid you know that God told us to keep the sabbath not the first day of the week? "remember the Sabbath the day by keeping it holy... but the seventh day is a sabbath to the lord your god...For in six days the lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is them, but he reste n the seventh day. Therefore the lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." (exodus 21:8)you can also look up genesis 2:2going to church on Sunday is from Catholic not from bible. In the bible, God never asked us to keep the Sunday holy or worship on Sundays.Yes you are quite right a Pope made it a Sunday by divine intervention.
There is no specific "sabbath day" for Buddhists. Primarily this is due to the fact that sabbath days are set up by a religion's deity and Buddhism has no deity.

Most Christians have the Sabbath (Capitalize Sabbath if you don't mind) on Sunday. ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a question of considerable debate. Some Protestants believe that keeping the seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) is the only way to exclusively follow the Bible. Others argue that Jesus rose on the 1st day, therefore reestablishing a new Sabbath. The truth is that there is nothing in scripture that implicitly states that the Holy Sabbath was ever changed to the first day (Sunday).
The Bible states the Jesus was rasied from the dead on Sunday. It also says that the early Christians met on the first day of the week (Sunday) because of Christ being raised up on Sunday. It has become a tradition that is followed because of the relationship to the most important part of the Chrsitian faith - that Jesus did not stay in the grave.
Yes. About every Sabbath Day according to the Bible:Luke 4.16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Black Sabbath used to wait at bigger-bands concerts in case they didn't show up. They never thought that the plan would work until one day the band Jethro Tull didn't show up at one of their concerts and the manager of the concert let Black Sabbath go on instead. The fans were reluctant at first but by the end of the concert they were going crazy for Black Sabbath.
Missing Mass without grave reason on a Holy day of obligation such as Sunday or any of the prescribed days for your nation or congregation is classified as breaking the fourth commandment "to keep the Sabbath day". Depending on the circumstances and intent of the will, this can be a mortal or venial sin and should be brought up with a priest in confession.
no you do not have to give up what you gave up for lent on weekends (christians only)
