Very interesting letter that clearly explains why most Christians keep Sunday as their day of worship, mainly because of anti-jewish sentiment early in the history of the Christian church.

It seems to have been the custom not to keep the sabbath in the 2nd Century, since by that time the majority of Christians were no longer Jews. The destruction of the Temple and the exclusion of Christians from the synagogues left Christians on their own. There is the implication here that Christians were the only ones at fault.

Then why did St. Iraneus explain that Christians met on the First day to commemorate the resurrection of Christ? That was 200 years before Constantine.
