Bible Note: 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 .
