I believe Sunday as a rest day has its roots in "paganism", and when "Pagans" adopted Christianity, they brought along their "pagan" culture and fused it with Christianity. Christmas and "Mother Jesus" worship has a similar origin in Mid-east/Asian religions.
Ancient mathematicians had a fascination with the number 7. It was/is a very unique number. If you try to establish patterns and a systems to 7 and its multiples, you get nowhere. Maybe this is the source of the seven day week, which is extremely old and precedes the Bible or even Mid East Hebrew culture...
