The '''Sabbath''' in [[Christianity]] is a day set aside for rest and worship, drawing from the [[Biblical Sabbath]] observed in [[Judaism]]. The concept of the Sabbath has evolved within different Christian denominations, with varying practices and theological interpretations.

=== Biblical Origins ===
The origin of the Sabbath is rooted in the [[Book of Genesis]], where God rests on the seventh day after creating the world. This practice is codified in the [[Ten Commandments]], specifically in [[Exodus]] 20:8-11 and [[Deuteronomy]] 5:12-15, where the Israelites are commanded to observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.

=== Early Christian Practice ===
In the early [[Christian Church]], the observance of the Sabbath was influenced by [[Jewish Christians]] who continued to observe the seventh day as a day of rest. However, the [[Resurrection of Jesus]] on the first day of the week (Sunday) led to the development of [[Sunday worship]] among Christians, which became known as the [[Lord's Day]].

=== Sabbath in Different Denominations ===
==== Roman Catholicism ====
In [[Roman Catholicism]], Sunday is observed as the Lord's Day, a day for attending [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]] and resting from servile work. The [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] emphasizes the importance of Sunday as a day of worship and rest.

==== Eastern Orthodoxy ====
[[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox Christians]] also observe Sunday as the Lord's Day, with a focus on the [[Divine Liturgy]] and rest. The Sabbath is seen as a prefiguration of the eternal rest in the [[Kingdom of God]].

==== Protestantism ====
[[Protestantism|Protestant]] views on the Sabbath vary widely:
* [[Lutheranism]]: Lutherans generally observe Sunday as a day of worship and rest, following the teachings of [[Martin Luther]].
* [[Reformed Churches]]: Many Reformed Christians, influenced by [[John Calvin]], observe Sunday as the Christian Sabbath, emphasizing rest and worship.
* [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventists]]: This denomination observes the Sabbath on Saturday, following the biblical seventh day, with a focus on rest, worship, and community service.

==== Other Denominations ====
Other Christian groups, such as the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] and [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], have their own unique practices and interpretations of the Sabbath.

=== Theological Interpretations ===
The theological significance of the Sabbath in Christianity includes themes of rest, worship, and the anticipation of eternal rest in the [[eschatology|eschatological]] future. The Sabbath is also seen as a sign of the [[Covenant (biblical)|covenant]] between God and His people.
