What happened to the day of rest?
What did people used to DO on the sabbath?

Should this quote be displayed at the doorway to Tesco?

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The fourth of the ten commandments from the Christian Bible: Exodus 20:3-17 (also Deuteronomy 5:7-21).

The Ritual Decalogue in Exodus 34 takes an even harder line - "Do no work or even kindle a fire on the seventh day. Anyone who does so will be put to death."

There seems to have been a very strong opinion in favour of disengaging from 'busy-ness' on a regular basis!
