Concept
Sabbath in Christianity
Résumé
Sabbath in Christianity is the inclusion in Christianity of a Sabbath, a day set aside for rest and worship, a mandatory practice described in the Ten Commandments in line with God's blessing of the seventh day (Saturday) making it holy, "because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation". The practice was associated with the assembly of the people to worship in synagogues on the day known as Shabbat.
Early Christians, at first mainly Jewish, observed the seventh-day Sabbath with prayer and rest, but gathered on the first day, Sunday, for communal worship. At the beginning of the second century the Church Father Ignatius of Antioch approved non-observance of the Sabbath. The now majority practice of Christians is to observe Sunday, called the Lord's Day, rather than the Jewish seventh-day Sabbath as a day of rest and worship.
Possibly because of a movement initiated in the early 14th century by Ewostatewos, which gained approval under Emperor Zara Yaqob, Ethiopian Christians observe a two-day Sabbath covering both Saturday and Sunday.
In line with ideas of the 16th and 17th-century Puritans, the Presbyterian and Congregationalist, as well as Methodist and Baptist Churches, enshrined first-day (Sunday) Sabbatarian views in their confessions of faith, observing the Lord's Day as the Christian Sabbath. While practices differ widely among if individuals, denominations, and churches, common First-day Sabbatarian (Sunday Sabbatarian) practices include attending morning and evening church services on Sundays, receiving catechesis in Sunday School on the Lord's Day, and taking the Lord's Day off from servile labour. Some with a more strict interpretation would avoid (or even prohibit) certain activities from taking place on Sunday such as eating at restaurants, Sunday shopping, using public transportation, participating in sporting events, watching television or consuming otherwise acceptable media; and even use of the internet.
