Traditions and honor
Alright, I will tell you one thing, I have never read once in the bible anything that has ever told me not to keep the sabbath. Which is the seventh day. Which is saturday.
"When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Therefore, don’t let anyone judge you by what you ear or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."
-Colossians 2:16
Give me the reasons why the pope has such great power he can change it to sunday or why christs resurrection would possibly mean that sunday should be his day of worship. Also, if you look at that, you can see that he did not resurrect on saturday, but waited over that day so he did not have to do it on the sabbath and actually waited til sunday.
Anastasia has done a good job of explaining the administrative reason for how and why it was changed in the early Christians times, and Jar has done a great service to explain what the Sabbath means for Christians and that God created for us. For a Hasidic Jew, this is simply unacceptable, as well it should be in accordance to the Torah. It is only until they accept Yeshua as their Moshiac that they will no longer live under the Law, but by the grace of the Law.
Now, please remember, if you can give me evidence enough to tell me why we have the reason to change the holy day god made on saturday to sunday rather than going on saturday, I have an open mind. I am willing to change if you can give me the reasons why. I want to do what the bible says, what God's word is, not what somebody else tells me or what i think would be easier.
"They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said:
By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear."
-Hebrews 8:5-13
"One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord" -Romans 14:5-8
I hope this helps you from a Christian perspective. If you have any other questions regarding the matter, feel free to ask.

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." -C.S. Lewis
