Shabbat is on the 7th day of the week in honour of the 7th day of creation, the day HaShem rested. Shabbat as the 7th day is specified in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The Christian Church made its Sabbath on Sunday in honour of Jesus's resurrection. Jesus plays no role in Judaism.

It is forbidden to light or extinguish a flame during Shabbat. For this reason, you would not blow out the Shabbat candles. You would let them burn our themselves. There are Shabbat candles specially made for this that will burn for about 3-4 hours, a perfect amount of time to stay lit during dinner, but allow you to go to bed without worrying about leaving a lit candle.

Drinking from the kiddush cup is an important part of Shabbat and most Jewish holidays. The word kiddush refers not to the cup itself but to the blessing said over the wine or grape juice in the cup, an event that blesses and sanctifies the holiday and it one of the chief ways (along with avoiding the 39 categories of work forbidden during Shabbat) that Jews abide by the mitzvah("commandment") to observe these special days. Reciting the kiddush blessing before the meal eaten after nightfall on Shabbat (the first meal of Shabbat) is commanded by the Torah whereas reciting it before other meals during Shabbat is a tradition of rabbinic orgin, meaning that rabbis decided it should be done without the Torah commanding it. Reciting kiddush before the last meal during Shabbat is largely optional - most Jews do not, but the 12th Century rabbi, doctor and philosopher Maimonides, who still has an enormous influence on Jewish thought to this day, believed that it should be carried out and so there are many Jews who do.A kiddush cup can be any cup and of any material, but as is commonly the case with any ceremonial object (such as the crucifix a Christian might wear, the idols used by Hindus in their household temples and so on) people like to have a cup and so most are made of silver and often beautifully decorated.
Shabbat is the Jewish Sabbath and the day of rest. Shabbat is the 7th day of the week and starts Friday sundown and ends Saturday sundown. We welcome shabbat in by lighting shabbat candles and reciting blessings over the candles, wine, and challah (traditional bread). This is followed by a family meal that normally incorporates two different types of meat (unless the individuals are vegetarian). During shabbat, all 39 categories of work are avoided, this includes such things as creating (writing, turning on lights, lighting fires, carrying items outside the home, cooking, etc). Time is spent with family and friends and religious services are attended in synagogue. Because cooking is not allowed, dishes that are made in advance are kept warm to be eaten for lunch on Saturday, a traditional dish that's eaten is cholent. There is a special religious service called 'Havdalah' at the end of shabbat were we say good by to shabbat and welcome in the new week.
