The first day of the week is the day after the Sabbath. The Sabbath is and always was what we call Saturday, and the first day of the week is and always was what we call Sunday.
It was the Roman Emperor Constantine, not a religious leader, who in the year 321 decreed that the first day of the week rather than the seventh would be a day of rest. Sun worship was very popular in Constantine's time, and their day of rest and worship was the first day of the week (which is why it's called Sunday). Constantine apparently sought to combine the two. While professing to be a Christian he introduced many such pagan practices into the Christian church, and much of his contamination lingers to this day.
Why 17 centuries of Christians have perpetuated this sacrilege is beyond me. I personally have written to Pope Benedict XVI, humbly requesting that he initiate a worldwide repentance regarding this matter. I received no reply.
