Q
Why do people keep Sunday? Who changed the Sabbath?
A
Constantine the Great sparked the gradual Sabbath change when he enacted the first Sunday law in 4th century 321 A.D. This commanded all people to rest on Sunday, and was further solidified by the Catholic Church Council to be the Christian standard in 364 A.D by the council of Laodecia.
