In Judaism, the Sabbath (Shabbat) is observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, marking a day of rest and worship. For Christians, it’s typically observed on Sunday, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Sabbath (Saturday) remains important in Judaism and some Christian traditions (such as Seventh-day Adventists), the majority of mainstream Christianity shifted its primary day of worship to Sunday as a way of commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and emphasizing the new covenant established through his death and resurrection. This transition was influenced by theological interpretations, early church traditions, and historical developments within the Roman Empire.

The shift from worshiping on Saturday (the Sabbath) to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) in Christianity primarily stems from theological and historical reasons within early Christianity. The most significant reason for worshiping on Sunday is that it is believed to be the day of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead. According to the Gospels, Jesus rose on the first day of the week, which is Sunday (Mark 16:2, Matthew 28:1, Luke 24:1, John 20:1). This event became central to Christian faith and worship, emphasizing the victory of life over death and the beginning of a new era.
