day of rest
No work today
A day of rest is a day set aside for relaxation and abstention from work, traditionally observed weekly for religious or personal reasons.
In Jewish and Christian traditions, the concept derives from the biblical account of God resting on the seventh day after creation, establishing the Sabbath.
The phrase now applies more broadly to any designated day off from labor.
Sunday has always been my day of rest.
After six days straight of overtime, I desperately needed a day of rest.
