Radna nedjelja u Hrvatskoj iz perspektive svetopisamskoga sedmoga dana
Working Sunday in Croatia from The Perspective of The Biblical Seventh Day

Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates reasons why after the democratic changes in Croatia, despite many activities of civic organizations and the Church itself, there is no work-free Sunday for those professions that are not indispensable for maintaining the regular life of society and the state. The difference between the biblical stencil and current failed attempts is shown from the perspective of believers, through the analysis of biblical texts that speak of the »Sabbath« or the seventh day, and the comparison between the experience of the Israeli people coming out of Egyptian captivity, because God demands offering sacrifice in freedom, and the efforts of believers in Croatia today to celebrate Sunday work-free and in freedom. Namely, in the Bible, there is a clear emphasis on the right and duty of believers to first give glory to God, which then allows freedom and rest, while today’s attempts, without omitting the former, emphasize the right to rest, family togetherness and the like.
