Bible Answer: After the resurrection of our Lord did the new Christian (including apostles) continue to observe the Sabbath along with the Lords day? Was Passover and other traditional holidays still celebrated? Not in the law tradition, just observed. Hi Mim, The earliest Christians gathered on the seventh day (the Sabbath). • Acts 13:13-14 Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. • 42 As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath. • Acts 16:13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. • Acts 17: 2 And according to Paul's custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, • Acts 18: 4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. They also observed Passover (Feast of Unleavened Bread). • Acts 20: 6 We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days. • 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. There are two scriptures that are often cited to show that the early Christians also gathered together on Sunday, the first day of the week. • Acts 20: 7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. • Revelation 1: 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, Acts 20 states they gathered together on Sunday because they were travelling and intended to leave the next day. The “to break bread” refers to eating a meal together, not the LORD’s communion. They broke bread well after midnight, meaning it was Monday and no longer Sunday, which had ended at sunset. Revelation 1 is the only place in scripture that uses the term “LORD’s Day.” It does not make any reference to what day of the week it was. It may not refer to a specific day at all. Revelation details the events surrounding the LORD’s return and the “LORD’s Day” may be the same as the “Day of the LORD” which is so often found in prophesy concerning the same time frame.
