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.
