Shabbat
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Shabbat in Judaism is one day of the week (from when the Sun goes down on Friday until it gets dark on Saturday) when work is not allowed according to the Ten Commandments. It is a day of rest and of undirected study. Most machines may not be operated, and no work done. Not even a light switch can be used. Not all sects are strict about this. One who is strict is called an Orthodox Jew.jew cant do any of these 39 thingsSowing Plowing Reaping Binding sheaves Threshing Winnowing Selecting Grinding Sifting Kneading Baking Shearing wool Washing wool Beating wool Dyeing wool Spinning Weaving Making two loops Weaving two threads Separating two threads Tying Untying Sewing stitches Tearing Trapping Slaughtering Flaying Tanning Scraping hide Marking hides Cutting hide to shape Writing two or more letters Erasing two or more letters Building Demolishing Extinguishing a fire Kindling a fire Putting the finishing touch on an object Transporting an object between a private domain and the public domain, or for a distance of 4 cubits within the public domain
The Sabbath in Christianity is the same idea, but usually less strict, depending on the denomination. Sunday is the day of rest for most Christians. It is often on this day that Christians go to worship at a church.
Islam also has this concept.
