In Galatians 4:8–11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for observing “days and months and seasons and years.” What exactly does Paul mean by this phrase?

As we learned in the first part of this teaching, the Bible does not support replacing Sabbath observance with Sunday observance. So, how did this change occur?
