<holidayfyi-glossary slug="day-of-rest"></holidayfyi-glossary>A designated day each week when work ceases for religious or cultural reasons. The concept appears across many traditions: the Jewish Shabbat (Saturday), the Christian Sabbath (Sunday), and the Muslim Jumu'ah (Friday). Many labor laws worldwide enshrine a weekly rest day, often aligned with the dominant religious tradition of the country.
