No manna would be available on the Sabbath and instead the Israelites were instructed to collect a double portion on the day before the Sabbath. Having no manna to collect would make a very clear distinction as to which day was the Sabbath day.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Throughout Judaism, the Sabbath has been remembered as what our modern calendar would call Saturday (more specifically from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday). The religious leaders who put Jesus through the trial that led to His Crucifixion held to their own code of conduct. Among their rules was to not let a crucified body remain on the cross over the Sabbath day. Death by crucifixion, however, could take quite a long time, which is why the practice of breaking the victim\u2019s legs became the norm for speeding up the process. This is explained in <em><strong>John 19:31<\/strong><\/em>: \u201c<em>The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be\u00a0broken, and\u00a0that\u00a0they might be taken away.<\/em>\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>We know, therefore, that Jesus died on what would now be called Friday (before sundown). Counting Friday as the first day, Saturday (the Sabbath) as the second day, and Sunday as the third day (though obviously, a full 72 hours did not pass), Jesus fulfilled His promise and prophecy that He would rise \u201cthe third day.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Among the Jews were many who believed in Jesus and worshipped Him. Obviously, however, there were many who were angry with Jesus and rejected Him as the Messiah.

The Old Testament declares the Sabbath is to be observed as a \u201cperpetual covenant\u201d (see <em><strong>Ex. 31:13\u201317<\/strong><\/em>), which does not necessarily mean that it should be forever on the same day, but rather that the Sabbath is a covenant for eternity\u2014that is, of eternal significance\u2014and is needed by mortals in every generation for their frequent spiritual rejuvenation,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/ensign\/1978\/01\/i-have-a-question\/why-do-we-observe-the-sabbath-on-sunday?lang=eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/ensign\/1978\/01\/i-have-a-question\/why-do-we-observe-the-sabbath-on-sunday?lang%3Deng&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1707226185942000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0YMNwfUDzuirX3QzoBnCXz\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0Robert J. Matthews, who served as chairman of the department of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University. The context of the passage seems to make that point clear. It is evident from the Bible that the sacred day was the seventh day of the week during Old Testament times, whereas in the New Testament it was observed on the first day of the week by the church after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The commandment is that one day in seven (or every seventh day) is used to worship the Lord. \u201cThe significant fact seems not to be\u00a0<em>which\u00a0<\/em>day is observed so much as\u00a0<em>how\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>why\u00a0<\/em>the day is observed.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Remembering Christ\u2019s sacrifice and Atonement, culminating in His Resurrection is the true purpose of honoring the Sabbath day.
