Which pope changed the sabbath to a Sunday?
Hi, I found out that some religions hold a sabbath on a Saturday while others are on Sunday. Does the bible say anything about a sabbath? Apparently, the sabbath was originally on a Saturday and not on a Sunday, and that a pope changed it. Do you know who?

There is no new testament text stating that the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday- not even a hint. History has it that On March 7, 321, Roman Emperor Constantine issued a civil decree making Sunday a day of rest from labour, stating “On the Venerable Day Of The Sun, let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.” I think what should matter to us as Christians is that we have a day to rest, worship and reconsecrate ourselves to our Lord Jesus Christ, whether Saturday, Sunday or even Friday (if we find ourselves in a Muslim community).
