Sabbath

===Latter Day Saint Movement===
In 1831, [[Joseph Smith]] published a revelation commanding his related movement, the [[Latter Day Saint movement]], to go to the house of prayer, offer up their sacraments, rest from their labors, and pay their devotions on the Lord's day (D&C 59:9–12).
{{quote|That thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day; for verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High.|D&C 59:9–10<ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/59.9-11?lang=eng The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]</ref>}}

Latter-day Saints believe this means performing no labor that would keep them from giving their full attention to spiritual matters (Ex. 20:10). LDS prophets have described this as meaning they should not shop, hunt, fish, attend sports events, or participate in similar activities on that day.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}} Elder [[Spencer W. Kimball]] wrote in his ''[[The Miracle of Forgiveness]]'' that mere idle lounging on the Sabbath does not keep the day holy, and that it calls for constructive thoughts and acts.<ref>''[[The Miracle of Forgiveness]]'', pp.&nbsp;96–97</ref>

Members of the Church are encouraged to prepare their meals with "singleness of heart" on the Sabbath<ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/59?lang=eng churchofjesuschrist.org D&C 59:13]</ref> (D&C 59:13) and believe the day is only for righteous activities (Is. 58:13.) In most areas of the world, this means worship on Sunday, though there is adaptation for Israel and many majority-Muslim countries.<ref>[https://www.ldsliving.com/18-Unique-LDS-Traditions-from-Around-the-World/s/88061 – Attending church on Friday]</ref><ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/sabbath-day?lang=eng churchofjesuschrist.org – Study by Topic – Sabbath]</ref>

In harmony with this revelation, members of the LDS church attend [[sacrament meeting]] each week. Other Sabbath-day activities may include: praying, meditating, studying the scriptures and the teachings of latter-day prophets, writing letters to family members and friends, reading wholesome material, visiting the sick and distressed, and attending other Church meetings.<ref>True to the Faith, p. 146 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/bc/content/shared/content/english/pdf/language-materials/36863_eng.pdf{{full citation needed|date=February 2017}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=May 2021}}
