Sunday is still considered the first day in Christianity. Jesus rising on the first day led to Christians celebrating the resurrection on Sunday and it eventually eclipsing the Saturday Sabbath. Also much of Latin America and Southern Africa also consider Sunday the first day of the week.

Mhh, yes. It seems you're right. Saturday is the day God rested supposedly?

Wow it really hasn't stuck. I stand corrected.
