Sabbatarianism

Belief held by some Protestant Christians in the strict observance of the Sabbath, Sunday, following the fourth commandment of the Bible. It began in the 17th century.

Sabbatarianism has taken various forms, including an insistence on the Sabbath's lasting a full 24 hours; prohibiting sports and games and the buying and selling of goods on the Sabbath; and ignoring public holidays when they fall on a Sunday.
