pühapäevadel

Pühapäevadel is the Estonian word for Sundays. It is the seventh and last day of the week in Estonia, following Saturday. In Estonian culture, Sunday is traditionally a day of rest and often spent with family. Many Estonian churches hold services on Sundays. Public transportation and most shops operate on a reduced schedule or are closed on Sundays, though some shopping centers and smaller convenience stores may remain open. For many, it is a time for leisure activities such as outdoor recreation, visiting friends and relatives, or pursuing hobbies. The word "pühapäev" itself translates to "holy day," reflecting its historical religious significance. Modern observance often prioritizes rest and family time over strictly religious practices, though religious observance is still common for many. It marks the end of the weekend and the preceding week, with the anticipation of the new work or school week beginning on Monday.
