sabbath laws
Holy day restrictions
Sabbath laws are regulations governing activity on the day of rest—Saturday in Judaism, Sunday in most Christian traditions.
Historically these restricted commerce, labor, and entertainment: blue laws banning Sunday alcohol sales are a remnant.
In religious contexts, sabbath laws specify what constitutes forbidden work: Orthodox Jews interpret sabbath laws to prohibit driving or using electricity.
