The Friday sunset is very important to Adventists, as it marks the start of the seventh day, as described in Genesis 1:5. We have been commanded by Jesus to keep the Sabbath, or the seventh-day as we refer to it. This is the fourth commandment; we refrain from any kind of work on this Holy day, and join each other in church to give thanks and praise to our true, living God.
