No one 'taught' Christians to do this, but just like other Jewish customs (like eating pork and circumcision) that Christians abandoned, so too they abandoned the practice of worship on the Sabbath (the 'Saturday'). This was because Jesus rose from death on the first day of the week (the Sunday) and so, to the Christian, this representation of the new covenant between God and humanity was seen as being more worthy of remembrance than the old covenant between God and humanity (although The Bible clearly states in 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died to save our sins; no where does it say He died to also make a new covenant for His people to follow instead of the old one). Thus the practice of meeting on Sundays became widespread right across the Christian Church.

Truly, He only rose on Sunday because Saturday was Sabbath and in his death, He was resting (as the law has always said to do). By Jesus rising on Sunday was only showing that He follows the law in life and in death; therefore, the Sabbath law (as are the rest of the 10 Commandments) still remain and will followed in heaven as well.

Why do you worship on Sunday?

Although Saturday is the 'holy' day of the jews, in the early Church the first Jewish Christians began to worship on Sundays instead of the seventh day of the week (Saturday - the 'Sabbath') because it was on a Sunday that Jesus rose from death. This was considered such an important day that Sundays were chosen instead as a day of worship - a tradition that carries on to this day.

Why do people choose not to go to church on Sundays?

OpinionFor some, it is a matter of limited time and too many priorites, but they feel they are still Christians even if they do not give time to religious observance. For others, their faith is not so strong that they feel obliged to make any commitment of their time to religious observance. Others do not really hold religious views at all, and are merely nominal Christians or feel that it is more 'respectable' to profess to be Christians even when this is not really true.AnswerSome Christians do not attend church on Sundays because they choose Saturday as the day to worship. Others do not attend a formal church but observe a time of worship in their own home. This may be due to distance from a suitable church, or inability to find a church that fits their beliefs.
