hi friend .... day off is more common than day of rest....

Yes it's fine to say a day off is a day of rest. It does not mean the same thing as Sunday, there is a turn of phrase that Sunday is a day of rest meaning that Sundays are meant to be days where you relax.

"A day off" is a day free from work... that is, you don't work when you normally would. You can also call this a day of rest if you feel like it. "Sunday is a day of rest" is the semi-Biblical reference when God created the earth - he rested on the seventh day. Ummm in Judaism this is actually Saturday (sabbath day) plus there's still confusion over which day is the "first day" in a whole week: some say Sunday, some say Monday. Don't worry too much about the details - if you work Monday to Friday, you can call both Saturday and Sunday your "days off". PS. As Mila said, you can also call a day off work a "non-working day".

i think it's not a day of rest its better to say "rest day" this is the common term if your working like day off.this are not only applicable every sunday its apply on the day which given to you to have an off or rest. cowboy...

Hi, "a day off" can mean a day where you don't have to work, a public holiday or even a day when you are ill at home. Example, I had the day off because I sprained my ankle.
