Weekdays





In English, "Monday" (Monday) refers to the second day, "the moon's day" (the day of the moon), which comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "monandaeg".
The third day, Tuesday, as the Romans called "dies Martis" for the Roman god of war, Mars. The reason is called "Tuesday" because English is named after the Norse god Tyr (aka Tiwaz and Tiw), which was both an ancient god of war as a legislator of the gods. This god, Tyr, amounted to Mars as the interpretatio germanica, a practice by the Germans that was to relate to Roman gods with the names of their Germanic deities.
On Wednesday, in English, it comes from "Wōđanaz" Norse god Odin and Anglo-Saxon god Woden. It was the equivalent of the Roman god Mercury.
One of the most famous gods of all time, Thor (son of Odin), is the inspiration for Thursday in English, Thursday. In Latin, "dies Jovis" means the day of Jupiter
On Friday, in English "Friday" is used to commemorate the Nordic goddess "Frigg", who was the wife of Odin and the goddess of love. However, the Romans referred to the goddess Venus, which is known as the goddess of love, sex, fertility and beauty, and thus, on Friday became known as "dies Veneris".
And finally, on Saturday, perhaps the most fun day of the week. called "dies Saturni", in Latin, the day of Saturn, in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture and fertility.
