Q:- From when was the holiday of Sunday started?
-> 1843.
Sunday was considered as holiday because it was explained in the bible that god made the earth in seven days and he rested on the seventh day making it the sabbath day a holy day.
Also, the Roman calendar included the day of the Sun for worship of the sun .On 7 March 321, Constantine I. Rome's first Christian Emperor decreed that Sunday would be observed as the Roman day of rest.
Many Christians today consider Sunday to be Sabbath, a holy day and a day of rest and church-attendance. Sunday is considered a non-working day in many countries of the world, and is part of "the weekend". Countries predominantly influenced by Jewish or Islamic religions have Friday or Saturday as a weekly non-working day instead.
