One man esteems one day above another.
In the early church they often gathered on the FIRST DAY of the week, the Lord's day as its known in history, which is SUNDAY, because thats when the resurrection occured. (according to some)
Some prefer to stick with the traditional sabbath.
I double down and rest on both days!

The truth is that God created us and the earth in six days, God created the seventh as a day of rest from our labors and God blessed it for that purpose.
Sunday worship was started way back in time by the Great grandson of Noah, Nimrod. Nimrod brought in worship of the sun, so the first day of the week was called Sunday. From that time on the people who were pagans and idol worshippers used Sunday as their day of worship.
Constantine had the difficult job of changing the state religion from paganism to Christianity by making it a law. He did the best he could to get cooperation for this from Roman citizens so he didn't try to change the day of worship. Besides, Constantine hated the Jews. He changed both Sabbath and Passover because they were Jewish.
In a speech Constantine gave to the Nicea council of 325 he stated that the Jews were evil so anything they did must not be done by Christians.

Technically it's not Sunday nor Saturday. To honor the accurate date of the first day of the week or the saabath we have to go by the Hebrews calendar system not ours. According to their system the very next day begins exactly at sundown right when you see the twilight of the last light of the sun and when it officially becomes night time. So even though to us it would be still be Saturday for them it would be the dawn of Sunday

"' Lex Constantini a. 321 (Cod. Just. 1. iii., Tit. 12, 3): Imperator Constantinus Aug. Helpidio : " Omncs judices, urbanscque plebes et cunctarum artium officia venerabili die Solis quiescant. Ruri tamen positi agrorum culturte libere licenterque in serviant, quonJam frequenter cvcnit, ut non aptius alio die frumenta sulcis aut viueae Bcrobibus mandentur, ne occasioue momenti pcrcat commoditas coelesti provisione concessa. Pat. Non. Mart. Crispo ii. et Constantino ii. Coss." In English: "On the venerable Day -of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agri culture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits ; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting ; lest by ne^lectin"' the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost. (Given the 7th day of March, Crispus and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time.)" The prohibition of military exercises is mentioned by Eusebius, Vita Const. IV. 10, 20, and seems to refer to a somewhat later peiiod. In this point Constantine was in advance of modern Christian princes, who prefei Sunday for parades. * Cod. Theod. 1. ii. tit. 8, 1 : " S "
This is the quote that I made reference to. As you can see he does not say it is the day of Christian Worship. Maybe someone can uncover the full text for us.
