The weekend ~ A Jewish 'invention'

Before there was a concept of a weekend, most people worked all the time never having a break.

The Jewish people found themselves in that situation when they were slaves in Egypt ~ they worked hard every day.

And then one day, Moses arrived and led millions of them out of slavery and into the desert. 50 days after leaving their life as slaves, they received the Ten Commandments; the fourth commandment being '"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy'. Finally, they had one day off a week ~ The Sabbath was born based on historical records in 1314 B.C.E.

In AD 321, Emperor Constantine the Great officially decreed a seven-day week in the Roman Empire, including making Sunday a public holiday. This later spread across Europe, then the rest of the world. And so, the concept of the weekend was born.

Healing happens when one has time to rest.
