Sabbath observance refers to the practice of setting aside a specific day for rest and spiritual reflection, traditionally observed on the seventh day of the week, known as the Sabbath. This practice is rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, where it is seen as a commandment to rest and honor God after the creation of the world. In many Christian denominations, the Sabbath is celebrated on Sunday, while Judaism observes it from Friday evening to Saturday evening. Activities during this time often include prayer, family gatherings, and refraining from work, allowing individuals to focus on their faith and community.
