sabbaths
Extended work breaks
Sabbaths is the plural of sabbath, the weekly day of rest and religious observance.
For Jews, the sabbath falls on Saturday; for most Christians, Sunday.
The word extends to any period of rest or cessation: sabbaticals originally meant every seventh year when land lay fallow.
The store remains closed on sabbaths.
