SABBATH

Definition

The day instituted by God as a weekly day of rest for the body and worship for the spirit. The Jewish Sabbath was placed at the end of the week in commemoration of the creation. The Christian Sabbath, takes the place of the Jewish, and is placed at the beginning of the week in commemoration of the resurrection of Christ. It is therefore called "the Lord's Day."
