The Sabbath

The Sabbath is a weekly day of rest and spiritual reflection observed in Judaism and certain Christian traditions, typically from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday or Sunday. It originates from the biblical creation story, where God rested on the seventh day. The Sabbath emphasizes stopping work, dedicating time to worship, family, and renewal, fostering a sense of community and spiritual well-being. It serves as a sacred pause from daily routines, allowing adherents to reconnect with their faith, rest, and reflect on their relationship with God and others.
