The Sabbat is, depending on the context and the religious tradition, a day set aside for rest, worship, or celebration.

Abrahamic religions 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 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 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.

-'''[[Heaven]]''' is a common religious cosmological or transcendent supernatural place where beings such as deities, [[angel]]s, souls, [[saint]]s, or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned, or reside. According to the beliefs of some religions, heavenly beings can descend to [[Earth]] or incarnate and earthly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife or, in exceptional cases, enter Heaven without dying.

-Heaven is often described as a "highest place," the holiest place, a paradise, in contrast to [[hell]] or the underworld or the "low places" and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine will. At least in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s of [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and some schools of [[Judaism]], as well as Zoroastrianism, heaven is the realm of afterlife where good actions in the previous life are rewarded for eternity (hell being the place where bad behavior is punished).
