That’s why many Christians prefer to call that day Resurrection day or Resurrection Sunday. Nova_Queen_28 — You forgot to mention that was because Christians wanted Pagans to feel more comfortable attending Christian services. That’s why Christians hold their services on Sunday. The true day of rest is Saturday, but pagans who worshiped the sun hold their services on Sunday (Sun-day) True Christians aren’t afraid of pagans. We only hope that someday they will see the light.
