Would someone please point out to me the passage in either The Old or The New Testament where it is specifically mentioned that The Lord rested on a *Sunday*? As all Christians, Jews, etc. know, the original sabbath was what we now call Saturday. This is, indeed still respected by Jews. The reason Christians use Sunday is to commemerate the New Covenant, as Jesus rose on the third day, Good Friday being the first day. This should be obvious to anyone with a sincere interest in The Bible. Please take Christmas seriously this year... Grant C.
