SABBATH
Sabbath
Sabbath or a sabbath is generally a weekly day of rest or time of worship. It is observed differently in Abrahamic religions and informs a similar occasion in several other practices. Although many viewpoints and definitions have arisen over the millennia, most originate in the same textual tradition. The term has been used to describe a similar weekly observance in any of several other traditions; the new moon; any of seven annual festivals in Judaism and some Christian traditions; any of eight annual pagan festivals ; an annual secular holiday; and a year of rest in religious or secular usage, originally every seventh year.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Sabbath
