No, but there is a Law in the Bible ie, the 4th commandement that tells us to observe the Seventh day (Saturday) and keep it holy. On this day thou shall not do any work neither thy servants.

There used to be.
Sunday was kind'a a church and rest day.
It was called the Blue Law.
Almost all business was closed Sundays.
It had it's moments. Sundays for the most part really was a day of rest.
Now, except for a few counties in some states where the law is still in effect governing the sale of alcohol, it's a law long gone.
Progress and convenience, killed it.

I agree with first answerer that saturday is the sabbath, and biblically you cannot buy or sell on the sabbath, and jews and seventh day christians still keep those ( Or they are supposed to)
But there were some old laws in this country called "blue laws" you couldn't have your store open, sell liquor etc on Sunday, they still exist in some parts of the country.

God's Day (the Sabbath) was actually on Saturday (from sundown on Friday night until sundown on Saturday night) and it was a law (Commandment # 4) that was given to the Israelite people on the stone tablets. No one is under the law covenant at this time but the principles that these laws convey still apply and help us to know the God who created and loves us all.

I actually just saw a documentary that mentioned this - but I can't remember the title (I'll try to track it down). There used to be laws in the U.S. regarding this, and because of the debate between separation of church and state and the government not respecting one religion over another, many of them were overturned. They were later termed "blue laws."
I'll try to get that reference for you.
(But as far as which day is "God's Day", I saw a question earlier about Christians who worship on Saturday and many folks said that Saturday is the Sabbath. I will try to find that post for you, too.)

The Sabbath is the SEVENTH day, not the first. Even if there was a law about not working on Sunday, you would ignore it, anyway--as you do for the Sabbath laws.

Lots of places used to have things called "Blue Laws," which were laws against certain businesses being open on Sunday. They had to do with God's day, yes.

"Day & Night" - words coined by humans basically to have a reference point in life overall. In the subtle world of Cosmic ebergy, which is the Kingdom of God, there is no day or night..even the concept of time doesnt exist.This is because human consciousness is at the low level where 5 senses interpret external data for us and we think thats reality whereas for an enlightened soul, he sees creation in its purest & basic form...as pure energy..pure light.
So dear friends..why define a God's day itself and assign a certain particular so called 'day' also to it? Isnt God eternal, ubiquitous & spread everywhere? So isnt every moment a God's moment if you want to have it in human terms? Live life to the fullest in the eternal ever present moment of NOW and you will find God within.
