Candle lighting
In traditional Jewish homes, fire may not be ignited after sundown on Friday. A practical activity, the all-important lighting of any flames needed for the next twenty-four hours, developed into one of the most holy times for the Jewish woman—the blessing over the Shabbat candles.

Prayer of Sanctification
We symbolize the joy and holiness of God’s day of rest with a cup of wine or grape juice. The Kiddush, the “prayer of holiness,” reminds us that as those redeemed by the Messiah, we are all called to reflect His holiness.
And there was evening…
ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום הששי.
ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם.
ויכל אלהים ביום השביעי מלאכתו אשר עשה
וישבת ביום השביעי מכל מלאכתו אשר עשה
ויברך אלהים את יום השבעי ויקדש אתו
כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו אשר ברא אלהים לעשות.

And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
And the heavens and the earth were completed along with all their host.
And on the seventh day God completed His work, which He had done,

And God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it,
