keeping the Sabbath
Seventh day rest
Keeping the Sabbath is observing a weekly day of rest and worship according to religious tradition.
For Jews, this means refraining from work from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, often including specific prohibitions like not driving or using electricity.
For most Christians, Sunday serves as the Sabbath, typically marked by church attendance.
The practice ranges from strict observance to simply setting aside time for rest and reflection: Her family keeps the Sabbath by unplugging from devices and sharing meals together.
