Bible Note: The changeover started in Rome and Alexandria around 135 A.D. in reaction by the Christian community being confused as being Jewish during the Jewish revolt--the Romans didn't look too closely to see that there were fundamental differences. See the church historian (not the philosopher) Socrates Scholasticus (A.D. 305-438): "Such is the difference in the churches on the subject of fasts. Nor is there less variation in regard to religious assemblies. (112) For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath(113) of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this." Ecclesiastical History. Book 5, chapter 22. at http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-02/TOC.htm and Salaminius Hermias Sozomen (died probably in 447 or 448): "Assemblies are not held in all churches on the same time or manner. The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria."
