What do christians call Sunday?

Answer 1

In Christianity, Sunday is the day the Lord Jesus Christ was risen from the dead. In the Old Testament, the Jews revered the Sabbath (Saturday) because it was commanded by the Lord in the Ten Commandments. However, Christians hold Sunday in reverence because it was the day of Jesus' Resurrection.

Answer 2

Sunday is not mentioned in scripture. Sunday is a modern convention. The reason many Christian churches meet on Sunday is the common observance of "a day of rest." Some may believe that Sunday is the Sabbath (the Anglicized word for the Hebrew word Shabbat), however the Sabbath is a uniquely Jewish phenomenon. Shabbat is observed from just before sunset on Friday evenings until varying times Saturday night. The laws that define the Sabbath (Shabbat) are very clearly defined in Judaic law.

Answer:

In The Bible, our Sunday is called "...the first day of the week..." (Matt.28:1).

The "seventh day" [the Sabbath day - see the fourth Commandment; Ex.20] is the only day of the week that God gives a name. The other six days are "numbers."

AnswerIn Acts we hear that Sunday, there called the 'first day of the week' was the day on which the followers of 'The Way' (the original name for Christians) would meet for prayer, to sing psalms, and to break bread together as Our Lord commanded.

The first day of the week was chosen because the gospels state that that was the day on which Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and so, meeting on this day of the week was a celebration of his conquering of death.

However, in those days, the first Christians were invariably Jews who still continued with Jewish customs. This meant that at first they also met in the synagogues on their Sabbath, the Saturday. It wasn't until later, when non-Jews (Gentiles) also became Christians that the original Sabbath became obsolete and Sunday became the holy day of rest and of attending worship.

Answer 3

The same as you - Sunday. The word "Sabbath" also refers to that day, but Christians do not typically call it by that.
