Different Greek religious festivals were held every few weeks, there being common ones such as the Olympic and the Isthmian Games, and each city-state had its own, such as those where the Tragedies and comedies were played as part of the ceremonies. The festivals lasted for several days each.

The people were later amazed when Judaism and Christianity introduced a weekly holy day (holiday) and thought them very lazy wanting this extra time off work.
