The Day of Christ

What is the meaning of “the day of Christ” as found in several New Testament passages? Using the KJV, it is specifically referenced in 1 Corinthians 1:8, 5:5, 2 Corinthians 1:14 and 2 Thessalonians 2:2, as well as in other verses.

With regard to 2 Thessalonians 2:2 in particular, the NIV substitutes “the day of Christ” with “the day of the Lord”, which I think is incorrect, but I admit to not being a fan of the NIV. Are these terms interchangeable?
