According to the
Baltimore Catechism...
Q. Why does the
Church command us to keep the Sunday holy instead of the Sabbath?
A. The Church
commands us to keep the Sunday holy instead of the Sabbath because on Sunday
Christ rose from the dead, and on Sunday He sent the Holy Ghost upon the
Apostles.
And...
Q. Do we keep
Sunday instead of Saturday holy for any other reason?
A. We keep Sunday
instead of Saturday holy also to teach that the Old Law is not now binding upon
us, but that we must keep the New Law, which takes its place.
Note that keeping the
Lord's Day on Sunday traces back to Apostolic times. For Sunday 'Sabbath'
