Basically, it has the same significance as it did when first given to Adam and Eve. It is a day of rest and remembrance for mankind of God and His Creation.
After the fall of both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel/Judah, primarily due to their disregard for the Sabbath Law (see Jeremiah 17:21-22; Ezekiel 20:12, etals), the Jews were determined not to commit this same error again. They began to make 39 new definitions of what not to do on this day - with its minutia, it became over 200 restrictions and totally burdensome for anyone. Jesus came to clearly show how both the physical and spiritual intent of the Sabbath Law was to be followed. He did not come to destroy the Law but to fill it to its full intent (Matthew 5:17-18). All disciples of Christ follow the Sabbath.
The Bible speaks of a Millennial Rule of Christ in the Book of Revelation. In a larger sense, this 1,000 year period is a Sabbath rest in itself. God's laws will be written upon our hearts which will no longer be of 'stone.' Christ and His firstfruits will be there to insure we Focus on the Father and live by every word of God.
The significance then is the same as now: On the Sabbath, ancient Israelites and modern Jews take a break and cease work. It's a day for prayer, reflection and rest, a respite from the work-a-day world of the rest of the week. In ancient times, there were special Sabbath sacrifices in the Temple in Jerusalem, but most Jews took no part in the daily or weekly Temple services.

The real sabbath day according to the Bible is the seventh day of the week (our Saturday). God blessed the seventh day of creation and set it apart for holy use.

If the sabbath was changed from seventh day to Sunday where in the Bible can you find this?
The Bible never tells us which day the Sabbath occurs. Certainly the Old Testament does say that the Sabbath should be honoured on the seventh day, but which is the seventh day? Assuming that God really did create the world in six days and rested on the seventh, how would they have known that Saturday was the seventh day, rather than Wednesday? the Bible does not tell us and merely assumes that the Hebrew people knew which day this was. Remember that the start of the week is only a convention. It seems likely that Christian Churches adopted Sunday as their Sabbath because the Bible gives that as the day of Jesus' resurrection, whether or not the Bible instructed them to make the change.
What day was the Sabbath on in the Old Testament?
In Genesis 2 we find that God made another day at the end of creation week. After 6 days of creating the heaven and earth, God created another day (the seventh day) and blessed it and set it apart from the other 6 days for holy use.In Exodus 20 we find the ten commandments, which also contains a commandment telling us to "remember the sabbath day" (4th commandment). In this commandment, God tells us that the sabbath day is the seventh day of the week, which coincides with the seventh day of creation being set aside for holy use.Exodus 20:8-11 ...'Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'So the Bible is very clear that the sabbath day is the seventh day of the week. Which is our Saturday.Now many people today think that we do not know which day the seventh day mentioned in the Bible is, because of the calendar chnaging. But although the calendars have changed and the dates have changed at certain points in history, the weekly cycle has NEVER changed.And if you contact the U.S.Naval Observatory they will tell you from the alignment of the stars that the seventh day today (our Saturday) is the same as the seventh day back in Bible times.
When is the sabbath for Christians?
Most Christians have the Sabbath (Capitalize Sabbath if you don't mind) on Sunday. ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a question of considerable debate. Some Protestants believe that keeping the seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) is the only way to exclusively follow the Bible. Others argue that Jesus rose on the 1st day, therefore reestablishing a new Sabbath. The truth is that there is nothing in scripture that implicitly states that the Holy Sabbath was ever changed to the first day (Sunday).
Why is the Sabbath day now on Sunday not Saturday?
For Jews, this is not true. Shabbat starts Friday at sundown and ends Saturday at sundown as specified in the Torah. For Christians, it is not called the sabbath day. For them, it was always on Sunday. Another contributor added these comments: The Sabbath was observed by both Jew and Christian when the Christians came on the scene. Not until pagan worship was inter mixed with the Christian beliefs was the idea of Sunday worship introduced. that was fortified by Constantine. God never intended there to be Sunday worship, he instructed us to remember the seventh day as the Sabbath of the living God. Belief that the Sabbath is on Sunday hasn't even been in existence for 2000 years yet! The Sabbath is still on the seventh day, Saturday, and God expects us to keep it!

What happened on the evening of good fiday?
If you believe as many do, that Jesus died on Passover, than Jesus died at the same time that the Passover Lamb was being killed in the temple. At 3:00 PM. So Jesus is our passover Lamb, the Feast of Passover was only a picture of what Jesus was going to do for us as Hebrew chapter 10 teaches us. There is some thought that Jesus died on Thrs. not Friday, But no matter what, it was the day of Passover. The mix up comes because the day after His dieth was the sabbath (Saturday). But the day after Passover is the day of Unleaven Bread. It is a high day, the same as a sabbath and is none as a sabbath. So that might be what is meant when the Bible says Sabbath.
