They really didn't. There were 8 holidays a year and these were religious, so they were expected to attend church services. Christ Eve had a total of 4 services during the day which everyone was expected to attend. The idea of weekends and days off doesn't happen until the late 1800's and early 1900's when factories began shift work.
