In both Judaism and Christianity, the Sabbath (Hebrew "Shabbat") is a religious day of rest that occurs on the seventh day of the week, Saturday and is one of the Ten Commandments. The word is also used to describe the annual Holy Days, also called High Day Sabbaths (John 19:31): First and Last Day of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and historical the Eighth Day of the Feast. The Hebrew word means "the of rest." The institution of the Sabbath was in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days, (Genesis 2:2-3).
