Hi creeklops,\n\nThe word Wednesday is not found in the Bible, days were called acording to the creation order except for Saturday (Sabbath).\n\nSo Sunday being the first day of the week, therefore making Wednesday the 4th day of the week.\n\nCaholics refer to a certain Wednesday of the week during passover "ash Wednesday", which is not found in the Bible either.\n\nHope this helps.

go find a really good dictionary, and look up sabbath, if it is a good dictionary it will tell you that it is Saturday. Look up Saturday and it will tell you that it is the seventh day of the week, sunday is the first day of the week. Go look at you calender, the week begins with sunday and ends with saturday. It is one thing to go by the Bible and it is truth, but when you start going to secular things, dictionary, encylopedia, calender, and they tell you these things, well  how can people argue it, with that is just what the bible says.

You can look it up in the Bible. There are many laws said by God but perhaps nobody can comply all of them. If a country leader committed himself to the laws of Bible, there would not be so many wars as we do now. Well, I study law but I personally think there is no perfect legal system in this world, everything has its infirmity. It is because human has limited intelligence. A criminal won't think he should be prosecuted; a country leader think he has the right to embark a war, etc. As a Christian, I think the Universal Law has been stated in the Bible and the Lord is the only judge. The "constitutional law" in Bible are "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind." Matthew 22:37 and the second is "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Matthew 22:39. Certainly these are not the only laws in Bible, and many to be discovered if we read through it. Well, I dun mind if you disagree with me and I would like to hear more voices out there.

The Constitution mandates elections to be held on Tuesday.\n\nIt started that way, because the country was originally mostly farmers and rural communities.  For a person to get to their polling place, it might take a day's ride into the nearest town. Sunday was already set aside for church, so voting on Tuesday would give the person Monday to ride to town, then Tuesday to vote and go home again.

"Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest;"\n\n"This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest."\n\n"but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God."\n\n"So the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day"\n\n"So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." \n\n"Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.'"\n\nI think that pretty well settels it!

April 14th is Good Friday.  I'm not sure if is a national holiday because it involves Easter and not everyone celebrates Easter.

Saturday is the one and only Sabbath. The Catholic church claimed to change it and many protestants follow there command, but who has the power to change what God commanded. I recently answered this question. here is more information\n\n\nThis is a VERY IMPORTANT subject I know it is long, but PLEASE read it\n\n\nA challenge, where in the Bible does it call Sunday the New Sabbath?\nsearch the scriptures you will not find it\n\n\nWas the Sabbath created by God on Mt. Sinai?\n\nAnd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. \nGenesis 2:2,3\n\nThe Sabbath was part of creation week\n\n\nWhat does the Bible say about the Sabbath?\n\n“ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11\n\n\nBut we don’t really know which day is the seventh?\n\nIt is highly unlikely that the entire Jewish community forgot which day was their Holy day.\n\nWhich day is the seventh day?\n\nSaturday : the seventh day of the week\n-Webster’s Dictionary\n\n\nAre there other examples of God emphasizing the Sabbath?\n\nHe said to them, "This is what the LORD commanded: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Exodus 16:23 \n\nAnd the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:28-30\n\nBoth of these examples are before Mt. Sinai and the 10 commandments. \n\nSpeak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Exodus 30:13\n\n\nI am a Christian and I want to follow Christ. Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?\n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. Luke 4:16\n\nGoing on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" Matthew 12:9,10\n\nThey went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. Mark 1:21\n\nWhen the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Mark 6:2 \n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. Luke 4:16\n\nThen he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people. Luke 4:31\n\nOn a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues Luke 13:10\n\n\nBut isn’t Sunday the Lord’s day?\n\nSix days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. Exodus 20:8\n\nIf thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:\nIsa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride up

I think that is a personal choice.  If you don't want to work on Sunday, than don't. I know some people don't feel as if they have a choice, but ultimately they do.

Seven years ago I considered it last, but in America it is the first, so since I consider it as first. In other cultures and countries, sunday is a middle day. Iraqi's work week is Saturday through Thursday.

According to relgious law...

There is no "blanket rule", so it comes down to guidelines from the specific denomination, and at times, availability of a pastor or the specific facility.  E.g. always booked on Sundays for regular services, very buys on Saturdays with services or preparations for Sunday, the pastor is tired on Mondays, and needs a "one day breather".\n\nIf you have a specific church/facility in mind, ask them for their guidelines/availabilities, and reasons for it.

Well, both Saturday and Sunday are holy days in some religions - time for rest. Hence, the weekend has formed around this.
