The corporate day of worship for most Christians is on Sunday, the first day of the week. There are exceptions.

Another Answer:

The seventh day of the week (Saturday) was observed by the believers in the Old Testament. It was in recognition of what God had done for them in the creation of the earth. He worked six days and then rested on the seventh. When the children of Israel were led out of captivity from the Egyptians, the seventh day was also significant as a way for them to remember what God had done for them in helping them escape bondage.

When Christ came on the earth, the Saturday Sabbath was still observed. The Sabbath observation for them began at sun down on Friday Evening, and continued to sun down on Saturday evening. When Christ was to be crucified, they were concerned that they would not be able to properly embalm Him before the Sabbath arrived. He was crucified on a Friday. On the third day, Sunday, Mary sought dress His body in spices since there was not time to do so earlier. This is the day the Lord was resurrected. On this day, He met with his disciples, ate with them, and taught them. He commanded them to continue this pattern observing the Lords Day, as a day for them to recognize the great things God had done for them in giving them His son as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of all men.

Sunday, the Lords Day, is recognized by most Christians as the Sabbath. Some Christians, such as the Seventh-Day Adventists, still recognize, and respect the Sabbath on Saturday as taught in the Old Testament.
