Aren't you supposed to be observing shabbos right now?
Thanks to a proclamation from US President Donald Trump, tonight marks the start of "Shabbat 250," a national Sabbath inviting Americans of all backgrounds to observe the Jewish day of rest, through nightfall on May 16. This comes as part of a commemoration for Jewish American Heritage Month (May) and the 250th anniversary of the United States. Shabbat 250 also coincides with Armed Services Day in the US.
Resting on the 7th day of the week was indicated by God at creation. It was only codified in the Ten Commandments, which were only given to the Israelites. I hate when someone at church on Sunday calls it the Sabbath, when it absolutely isn't. Saturday is the Sabbath, and has been since creation.
Christians call Sunday "the Lord's day" in the mistaken belief that Jesus arose at dawn on Sunday. The Bible doesn't say that. It says that the women came to the tomb "while it was yet dark" and found it empty. This means that Jesus had arisen, the soldiers had fled, and everything was already quiet. I believe that Jesus rose immediately at the end of the Sabbath, sundown on Saturday.
I do go to church on Sunday, but I also point out the above facts to anyone I can.
BTW, it may be that Sabbath on Saturday and church on Sunday kind of led to what we now call "the weekend" as of about 100 years ago. What cemented it was Henry Ford giving his employees Saturday and Sunday off from work in 1926.

Isaiah 58 is great in both directions on this.
I’m probably guilty of 58:4, much as I try not to be.
What do you consider sabbath for a Christian
