On Saturday, Jesus rested in Hades like God rested following creation.
On the 6th day, God created Adam and Eve who fell from their grace. Jesus was crucified and died on the 6th day.
On Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead to symbolize God's creation of light from darkness on the 1st day of creation. This is why Christians recognize Sunday as the 1st day and not Saturday as the 7th day. Christians do not fast on Saturdays unless it is during Lenten periods.

Sunday is the first day of the week. On most caledars Saturday is on the end of the week but some will show it as the sixth day with Monday being the first day. Any way you look at it, if you want to see which day is really is, go to God. In Luke 23:53-56 and 24:1-2 you find three days mentioned that you cannot be alive today and not know which they are if you have any knowledge at all. There is the preparation day mentioned that Jesus died on, what we call Good Friday, then you have the Sabbath day, the seventh day if you will that Jesus rested on, and you have the first day of the week, what we call Easter Sunday. The Catholic church changed the day from the Seventh to the first day in the fourth century to get more of the pagans into the church and took their day, the venerable day of the Sun, or Sunday and made it the day of worship for those that would follow them. It has never been God's day of worship and never will be. And yes, the Jews as well as others, do worship on Saturday, the Sabbath or the Seventh day, the true Sabbath. Those that follow the Sunday worship are really doing homage to the Papacy.

The original calenders and the official calenders do have Saturday as the 7th day. The Jews are right and there are some Christians who worship on Saturday. Some Pope "thought to change times and laws" by making the worship day into the first day of the week.
But then later on people got confused because the bible says keep the 7th day holy and but most Christians go to church on the 1st day so you will now see many calenders with Sunday listed as the 7th day but it is a falsehood.

The seventh day on the calendar is Saturday. The 7th day Adventist worship on sat. A lot of Christians worship on Sunday, but it has nothing to do with the day of rest, it's because of Jesus ressurerection.

It depends on what they believe in. I'm a Moravian (betcha never heard of that before. but oddly enough, we were the start of protestant churches) We worship on the sunday becuase we believe that the saturday is the sabbath. We're supposed ot reat on the sabbath, which, believe it or not is soooooooooooooo hard cuz we have work to do and this and that. It's hard. Jews prefer to worship on a saturday so they can't really work BUT they worship. Seventh dat edventist have similar doctrines when it comes to the sabbath, well, I don't think they feel the same about the level of umm, non-work LOL. other churches prefer to worhsip the sunday althought the sabbath is really the saturday. It's not the same for every denonmination.

Saturday is the 7th day of the week. Christians worship on Sunday because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday

the position in Genesis is a calender suggested? Or the position is Saturday suggested -- an afternoon named after the Roman god Saturn, an excellent many centuries after Genesis changed into written. The day God rested ought to were any day of the week. God created creation -- adult men created time, dates and calendars to target to regulate God's creation. How has that worked, to this point?

Seventh-Day adventists and Jews worship on Saturday. But Catholics and Protestants worship on Sunday because the first day of the week has more religious significance in the New Testament than the seventh day has in the Old testament.

because I believe a non-religious person invented the calender. I agree with you that Sunday is the 7th day of the week. I think that Jews worship on Friday night is what I heard. maybe saturday but here its friday nights. Unless i'm thinking of the wrong religion. sorry.

The holy for Jews is Saturday (Sabbath). Some orthodox Jews strictly observe the Sabbath- no driving, they walk to service, stay home (no shopping, etc.)
Some calendars start their week with Sunday. Some start on Monday.
Does it really matter if one observes Saturday or Sunday? Do you think God is checking our calendars on the walls at home to see if we are observing the "correct" Sabbath?
I think God is busy doing other "things." Like listening to prayers and guiding us along the right paths.
