Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement because it is a day to repent for your sins. The Biblical evidence for Yom Kippur can be found in Leviticus 16:1-34 where it spells out that this is for your repentance to the Lord for your sins. In addition to prayer this day is also spent in fasting and abstaining from material things. This includes working on this day. At the end of Yom Kippur a festive meal is served.
