That isn't what it says.
You can't have "σάββατον" mean Sabbath and "the Holy Season known as the Feast of Unleavened Bread" in the same sentence. I showed you how a specialist in the Hebrew language described how the Jews in that time referred to days, and it's exactly in concordance with "σάββατον" meaning Sabbath and "μία σάββατον" meaning the first day of the week, and that's why every translation says "the first day of the week", not "one Sabbath."
Christ was resurrected on Sunday, and early Christians worshiped on Sunday, as described in scripture. Case closed.
You are correct in that many people in the first few centuries after Christ's death kept a Sunday worship day as your priests have used this to claim they are the original Church, but they are not the true Church of God.
I have eyes, and I can see. Can you?
Certainly many early Christians were still worshiping Serapis, Osiris, Mithra, Isis, Athena, etc., while pretending to be worshiping Jesus and Mary.
There could be a case for the former (although I don't see one), but I think the latter is sufficiently debunked for anyone who has a good understanding of the tenants of not only early Christianity, but the religion it was founded on, which strictly forbade sun worship of any kind.

The early days of post Nicene Christianity labeled "Judaizers" as heretics. Jewish law didn't mean squat to early Christians. www.newadvent.org...
The target converts were pagans, who were already "idolaters", worshiping solar deities such as Serapis, Osiris, Mithra, Isis, Artemis, Athena, etc. These cults/religions were suddenly illegal. So yeah, it only figures that there were early "Christians" who were praying to pagan deities, while pretending to pray to Jesus and Mary.
