Hello, Humility, It was on March 7, 321 A.D., when Constantine I decreed that Sunday would be observed as the Roman day of rest. This is past the biblical era so I am afraid that support from the Good Book will be hard to come by. However if you were to use the search feature of this Forum, I am sure that you will find much more info than I have offered. Blessings to you and yours, keliy |

“Question: How prove you that the church had power to command feasts and holydays? “Answer: By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of and therefore they fondly contradict themselves by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church. “Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? “Answer: Had she not such power, she could not a done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; -she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism On the Obedience Due to the Church, 3rd edition, Chapter 2, p. 174 (Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishop of New York). |

First, not all protestants call Sunday the new Sabbath, but they observe a day of rest in honor of the rest we have in Christ. They do so on Sunday in honor of the day he rose and defeated death. The second century church fathers explain much of this in detail. They explicitly state that the seventh day Sabbath was fulfilled in Jesus. Col.2:14-17; Romans 14 are just two scriptures used to support them. Celebrating days in remembrance of events in religious history was also done by Ester and the Maccabees. Jesus follows the event created after the Maccabean revolt, so there is no reason to assume that the later church could not choose to remember certain days such as the resurrection, ascension, birth, and others .
