I am quite sure this should not be in this news group at all.  That is
what happens when you think "Well, I'll post to this news group, too, just
this once...."  But anyway,

	The switch from the Sabbath on  last  day  of  the  week  to  the
	Christian  Sabbath being the first day of the week was due to the
	fact that the Lord rose on a the first day of the week.  Now, the
	reason  for this switch isn't stated explicitly anywhere, but can
	be deduced easily from  the  fact  that  the  very  early  church
	started  meeting  for worship on the first day of the week.  This
	became the Lord's Day (to be remembered and kept holy).  I do not
	have  the  references  available,  but  can dig them up if anyone
	*really* needs them.
