Hmm, strange. I've always thought the first day of the week in America is Sunday.
250 is maybe 100 too many. Also, you must not be including Paul, who is mentioned more often than Peter.
The Priest is Christ. God has given us the Holy Spirit to console and help us overcome weaknesses. Once Christ died, the curtain into the Holy of Holies was torn. Christ took over and is now our High Priest. We can come directly TO Him.
As far as the Easter and Resurrection Sunday thing, it's all a very interesting topic. An interesting thing to keep in mind is there are many types of Sabbath's. Not just Saturday. I think the new moon was a Sabbath. Some of the feasts begin as a Sabbath. The Year of Jubliee begins on a Sabbath. There were several 'special' Sabbaths. What this means is the day after the Sabbath is not necessarily Sunday.

At the same time, and more importanly, God, through the Priest, can consoul the repentant and help them overcome their weakenesses that they could not overcome alone. Who needs to pay a concilor? That's why God gave us Priests....to help us come to Him!
