The Sabbath remains on Saturday - that’s why many languages keep the word “sabbath” or variants for “Saturday”

Like
French - Samedi From Old French samedi, from Vulgar Latin *sambati diēs, from Latin Sabbati diēs < diēs Sabbati (“day of the Sabbath”).

Polish - Sobota - inherited from Proto-Slavic *sǫbota, *sobota, from Medieval Latin sabbatum (or from Vulgar Latin *sambatum), from Ancient Greek σάββᾱτον (sábbāton), from Hebrew שַׁבָּת‎ (šabbāṯ).

Italian - Sabato

Greek - Σάββατο (Sávato)


English is a poor substitute for many languages and leads to errors as we see among many western groups.

Similarly the word “Sunday” - in
Greek - Κυριακή (Kiriakí) - the Lord’s Day
Latin - Dominica - the Lord’s Day
Italian - Domenica
French - Dimanche

etc.

Sabbath remains the last day of the week. As Christians we celebrate the risen Lord on the Lord’s Day - the first day of the week. Jesus brought in a new era and we keep that day Holy for the Lord

there is text for Domenica/The Lord's day being holy

Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week."

Mt 28:1; After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,[b] Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 [c]And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

Mk 16:2; Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb.

Lk 24:1;The Resurrection of Jesus. 1 But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

Jn 20:1 ] 1 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark,[c] and saw the stone removed from the tomb.

the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath,

it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ's Resurrection. For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera, dies dominica)

================

Note that the Ecclesiastical review of 1914, etc are wrong to state that there is no Biblical reason

Let's repeat - Sabbath remains on Saturday, but Christians observe the Lord's Day which is the day we worship the risen Lord

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Before any church was formed or birthed, Jesus established worship on the first day for the new covenant made by His blood, and upon His obedience, not ours.

First day of the week confirmed by Jesus, not man, nor church.

1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

The concept of worship on the first day of the week originated with Jesus arising from the dead on the first day of the week and therefore this day was chosen by God, and men followed.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Here we see the great apostle Paul did not deviate but continued worship and meeting on the first day of the week.

The Father’s First Days of the Week are His 2nd,9th,16th,23rd days of His months.

Paul would have known this as the scriptures can teach this.
Paul’s followers today do not.

Neither does Islam, Judaism or Christianity..

All in the same boat after about 2,000 demon possessed swine years..

That’s the fruitless tree that today believes Friday is more important than Passover, Saturday is more important than Unleavened Bread and Sun Day is more important First Fruits.

Paul’s 1st importance of the gospel doesn’t need Friday, Saturday Sunday, because they are the Father’s 6th Day, Sabbath,1st day, no matter what Babylon three days they fall on (like Woden’s Day, Thor’s Day Frigg Day this past Spring)

Not expecting Islam, Judaism and Christianity to buy that.
They have their doctrines of demons to protect.
