Answer 1

It's a Biblical thing. God rested on the seventh day and thus so do we, or so the story goes.

Answer 2

Why Sunday Is Holiday

Answer 3

Actually our Jewish and 7th Day Adventist friends will tell us that Sunday is not the Sabbath because Sunday is the first day of the week not the seventh. But in any case the reason Sunday is the holy day for Christians is that according to the tradition, Sunday was the day Jesus rose from the dead. Sunday is like Easter every week. Or Easter is like Sunday once a year depending on how you want to look at it.

Answer 4

Yeah it is more a Christian thing, spread throughout the world and accepted widely - a day to rest and pray - now that has backfired and now sunday is a day for shopping and spending

In the Middle East Friday is still the weekly holiday - a day to rest and pray

For Indian Hindus Tuesday is (rather used to be) generally a day for fasting and prayers - since traders do not prefer to play with Goddess Lakshmi on this day

Answer 5

IT IS NOT A HOLIDAY!

only some religion who picked it up from some pagan customs practice it as a day of rest..

The Bible teaches different, G-d worked 6 days and rested on the 7th; the Sabbath, which is Saturday in our modern calendar....

the roots of Sunday gathering comes from the Biblical Holiday of "first Fruits" which is on the first day of the week..
and it blended better with the people to gather with the pagan religions of the time... on "sun" day...

.{ remember not all G-d following people followed "mans ways" , many stayed with the Bible and rest on the 7 th day... "the sabbath"
which is Saturday.....}

It is to do with the creation of the world In the Bible, on the seventh day God took rest, the sabbath, Sunday. Out of respect for God, we should take rest. It is not possible for many, but as long as we respect God and do all we can ALL the time and not only on Sundays, then we are on the right path.
