Sabbath

Sabbath or a sabbath is generally a weekly day of rest and/or time of worship that is observed in several faiths. The term derives from the Hebrew shabbat, "to cease," which was first used in the Biblical account of the seventh day of Creation. Observing the Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments (the fourth in the original Jewish, the Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant traditions, the third in Roman Catholic and Lutheran traditions).

*Shabbat is observed from sundown Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night. Shabbat shalom (שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם) is a common greeting used on Shabbat.
