So WAAAAAAY off-topic, but relevant to the last post...
The Jewish Sabbath (and 7th Day Adventists etc.) is still the 7th day
- which in our Calendar is Saturday.
The Sabbath for most of Christianity was changed to the First day of
the week (Sunday) following Christ's resurrection as the new holy day.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I considered the Judeo-Christian influence as well but it doesn't
make sense.
If God rested on the seventh day, why did calendars get produced
with Sunday as the first day of the week?
Because putting Sunday at the start of the week puts God "first" in
all parts of your life, most likely.
