@Gaiku Good question!
"On Sunday" = You are referring specifically to the next Sunday. For example, if it is Friday today, and I say "I'll go to the shop on Sunday", I mean that I will be going to the shop this coming Sunday i.e. the day after tomorrow.
"On Sundays" and "every Sunday" are almost the exact same in meaning. As a native speaker, I feel saying "every Sunday" puts more emphasis (you are stricter about something happening every single Sunday), but otherwise there is no difference between these options.
Examples:
"On Sundays, I visit my parents"
"Every Sunday, I visit my parents"
"I have my English lesson at 10am on Sundays"
"I have my English lesson at 10am every Sunday"

On Sunday = the Sunday that comes next.
On SundayS = generally on Sunday.
Every Sunday = each Sunday that occurs. All of them.
On Sunday, I will go to Kyoto [once]
On Sundays, I go to the market [implies: usually]
Every Sunday, I visit my mother [implies: all, or nearly all, Sundays].
"On Sundays" and "Every Sunday" overlap. They CAN mean the same thing, but 'On Sundays" implies that you are less stringent than 'Every Sunday'.
