      It was early on in Christianity, so within the last 2000 years, and it was probably done just to be awkward so christians could say “Hey, look at us, celebrating Sunday! We’re totally different from Judaism!”. A lot of religions are born because a bunch of people argued over something silly, from what day the christian/jewish sabbath should be to whether it’s a sin to eat at a buffet table to whether the universe was literally created in 6 days and dinosaur fossils are just God being cheeky. It’d be funny if it wasn’t usually accompanied by holy wars and loads of suffering because people couldn’t just get along.

      You should read up on the history of some religious sects and cults, particularly the huge number of different types of Christianity in America. some of them are just daft! 🙂
