From the scriptures, where does God ordain its observance?
"The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her Divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. ... The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as Spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world." Editorial, The Catholic Mirror, September 23, 1893.
Please email if you know why we do have to do it, to me i think Saturday is still holy and not sunday

The resurrection, took place not on the seventh day but on the eighth, that is, the first day of the Jewish week, which corresponds to our Sunday." After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre." (Matthew 28:1. Cf also Mark 16:1-2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1).
The first day of the week therefore assumed a very special significance for the new dispensation, for the followers of Christ. They saw in the resurrection, greater reason to keep the first day if the week holy than the reason for keeping the seventh day holy. The first day of the Jewish week thus became the new, 'Lord's day' of the Christians. (Apoc. 1:10).
That is why, assemblies were held in the early Church were held on the first day of the week (our Sunday). "On the first day of the week we met to break bread." (Acts 20:7). "Every first day of the week, each of you must put aside what he can afford, so that collections need not be made after I have come." (1 Cor. 16:2).
May God bless you
