Sabbath
Weekly worship day
The Sabbath is the weekly day of religious rest and worship.
For Jews, it runs from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset; most Christians observe Sunday.
Keeping the Sabbath holy is one of the Ten Commandments.
They don't work on the Sabbath.
A sabbatical—an extended leave from work—takes its name from the Sabbath concept of rest. (Lowercase sabbath refers to any rest day or witches' gathering.)
