Sunday, The Christian Day.
Its history can be traced back to the year A.D. 32.
Such a shift in the calendar was monumental.
Something cataclysmic must have happened to change the day of worship from the Jewish Sabbath, the seven day of the week, to Sunday, the first day.
In Acts 20:7, St. Luke states simply : "On the first day of the week we gathered to break bread...", an established pattern.
Christians said the shift came because of their desire to celebrate the day Jesus rose from the dead.
This shift is all the more remarkable when we remember that the first Christians were Jews.
