Sunday rest
Day of leisure
Sunday rest is the practice of refraining from work on Sunday, rooted in Christian observance of the Sabbath.
Historically enforced by blue laws restricting commerce, the concept now persists more as cultural tradition than legal requirement: The shop closes for Sunday rest.
The phrase implies deliberate pause from labor for spiritual renewal or family time.
