Sabbath desecration
Sabbath desecration is the failure to observe the Biblical Sabbath and is usually considered a sin in relation to either the Jewish Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday nightfall), the Sabbath in seventh-day churches, or to the Lord's Day (Sunday), which is recognized as the Christian Sabbath in first-day Sabbatarian denominations. == Judaism == According to Mosaic Law, to desecrate shabbat intentionally, despite warning, is a capital offense (Exodus 31:14).
