Most of these religions I know very little about but I do know that Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Uniting (Methodist/Presbyterian), Lutherans all celebrate a regular church gathering/mass/eucharist on Sundays.

However, many other Christian religions celebrate their gathering on Saturdays.

Why is this?
