What Sunday is about?

In Nigeria, we view the day Sunday has a day we go to Church and worship God. In my own family, it is a day we must wake up early go to church and prepare for service for other members coming to church. It is also a day we meet other members of the church and we interact. Some people even call it a day to rest from any activities.

I have been doing these activities from my childhood now am asking is this what the day Sunday all about?

The greatest event in human history occurred on Sunday. Jesus rose from the grave on the first day of the week, which is the New Testament term for Sunday1. “Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene” (Mark 16:9).

The Lord's Day in Christianity is generally Sunday, the principal day of communal worship. It is observed by most Christians as the weekly memorial of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is said in the canonical Gospels to have been witnessed alive from the dead early on the first day of the week.

The question now is does Sunday remind us of the resurrection of Jesus Christ?
