Sabbath Adaptation
Most Christians do not observe Saturday Sabbath, but instead observe a weekly day of worship on Sunday, which is often called the "Lord's Day".
Several Christian denominations, such as the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Seventh Day Baptists, and many others, observe seventh-day Sabbath. This observance is celebrated from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Some of Messianic Judaism considers its Sabbath to be kept according to Jewish doctrinal tradition, while most of Rabbinic Judaism disagrees.
The principle of weekly Sabbath also exists in other beliefs: compare the Babylonian calendar, the Buddhist uposatha, the Islamic jumu'ah, the Neopagan sabbat, the Unification Church Ahn Shi Il, and the parody-religion Pastafarian weekend.

Famous quotes containing the words sabbath and/or adaptation:
“My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sunday’s washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of rest—a practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
