Subject: Catholics do not observe

The Jewish people observe the "sabbath" (the seventh day when God rested after the six days of creation). Catholics observe the "Lord’s Day" (the eighth day or the day of the Resurrection and re-creation through Jesus Christ). The sabbath (Saturday) is the end of something (creation). The Lord’s Day (Sunday) is the beginning of something (our re-creation in the Lord Jesus Christ).
