The '''[[Sabbat]]''' is, depending on the context and the religious tradition, a day set aside for rest, worship, or celebration.
An individual '''[[Lilith]]''', along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish [[occult]] incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the [[demon]]. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.


[[Abrahamic religion]]s treat the sabbath as a day of rest, commanded by [[Yahweh]] to be kept as a holy day of rest. The practice of observing the Sabbath (Shabbat) originates in the [[Bible|biblical]] commandment "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8–11). The sabbath is observed in [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]].


The ancient [[paganism|pagan]] peoples of Europe differed in the festivals they celebrated. In the British Isles, the Anglo-Saxons primarily celebrated the four solstices and equinoxes, while Insular Celtic peoples primarily celebrated the four midpoints between these.
