I'm guessing you are Seventh Day Adventist, if not a jew. Under Mosaic Law, Saturday was the Sabbath. In the New Testament, Sunday was considered the first day of the week (Acts, Corinthians) and the day that the followers of Christ met, as well as the day He rose from the grave. Sunday is considered the Lord's Day. We later see early church and historical leaders following Sunday being the Lord's Day. Worshipping on Sunday is a clear distinction between followers of Christ and jews.

*On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. (Acts 20:7)

*Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. (1 Corinthians 16)

*I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice.... (Revelation 1:10)

Paul's practicality makes a fine counterpoint to being too strict about which day is what:

> One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God ... You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Romans 14. i'm not *against* Sunday obviously because it has been that way for a long time and works out just fine but it's not like you're thrown into the ninth circle if you pick another day, or pick it less frequently. i think discussing these laws in a legalistic manner like has been done in this thread isn't conductive to what i understand Christ taught - faith above law, washing the inside of the cup before the outside.
