Views: This Presentation is Public Favorites: 0 WELCOME PowerPoint Presentation: These two overlapping weeks continued to be used by Alexandrian Christians during the fourth century, but the days in both were simply numbered 1–7. Although names of gods were not used, the week beginning on Wednesday was named in Greek ton theon ([day] of the gods), as used by the late fourth-century editor of the Easter letters of Bishop Athanasius, and in a table of Easter dates for 311–369 that survives in an Ethiopic copy. These overlapping weeks are still used in the Ethiopic computes. Each of the days of the week beginning on Sunday is called a "Day of John" whereas each of the days of the week beginning on Wednesday is called a "tentyo", a simple transcription of the Greek ton theo. PowerPoint Presentation: Seven Days of The Week How did we Derive the names of the seven days of the week and why are they seven in number ?

PowerPoint Presentation: The ancient Egyptians named each day of the week after one of The planets. They considered the Seventh day merely as a day of Rest and play. PowerPoint Presentation: Later the Romans named the seven days of the week after the Sun, Moon and five planets, which were then known. Each day was considered sacred to the Roman God who was associated with that planet. The days were known as Sun’s-day, Moon's - day, Mars-day and so on . This System was in use at the beginning of the Christian Era. PowerPoint Presentation: MONDAY The word Monday comes from the Anglo-Saxon monandae,which means the Moon’s day. PowerPoint Presentation: Monday : The name Monday comes from the Old English Mōnandæg (pronounced [mon.nan.dæg] or [mon.nan.dæj'), meaning "Day of the Moon". This is likely based on a translation of the Latin name Dies Lunae (cf. Romance language versions of the name, e.g., French Lundi , Spanish, Lunes , Romanian Luni , Italian Lunedì ).

PowerPoint Presentation: Tuesday Tuesday comes from Tiu or Twi , the old Angola-Saxon form of Tyr, the name of the Norse God of War. PowerPoint Presentation: Tuesday : The name Tuesday comes from the Old English Tiwesdæg (pronounced [ti.wes.dæg] or [ti.wes.dæj], meaning "Try's day." Try (in Old English, Tiw , Tew or Tiu ) was a god of combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology and Germanic paganism. The name of the day is based on Latin Dies Marti's , "Day of Mars" (the Roman war god); compare: French Mardi , Spanish Martes , Romanian Marţi and Italian Martini . PowerPoint Presentation: Wednesday Wednesday is the English name for The fourth day of the week. This day Gets its name from Woden or Odin the Chief god in Teutonic mythology, to Whom it was sacred. At the beginning Of the Christian Era, the Germans Called the day Woden’s-day. Its name Later changed to Wednesday.

PowerPoint Presentation: Wednesday : The name Wednesday comes from the Old English Wōdnesdæg (pronounced [woːd.nes.dæg] or [woːd.nes.dæj) meaning the day of the Germanic god Wooden, more commonly known as Odin, who was the highest god in Norse mythology, and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other peoples) in England until about the seventh century. It is based on Latin Dies Mercurii , "Day of Mercury"; compare: French Mercredi , Spanish Miércoles , Romanian Miercuri and Italian Mercoledì . The connection between Mercury and Odin is more strained than the other syncretic connections. The usual explanation is that both Odin and Mercury were considered psychopomps, or leaders of souls, in their respective mythologies. Also, in Old Norse myth, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetic and musical inspiration. In German, the day is referred to as Mittwoch (mid week). Similarly in Finnish it is referred to as keskiviikko (keski = mid, viikko = week). PowerPoint Presentation: Thursday Thursday is the fifth day of the Week.

The ancient Norseman Considered the day sacred to Thor, the Teutonic god of Thunder. The name means Thor’s day. PowerPoint Presentation: Thursday: The name Thursday comes from the Old English Þūnresdæg (pronounced [θuːn.res.dæg] or [θuːn.res.dæj]), meaning the day of Þuno, commonly known in Modern English as Thor, the god of thunder in Norse Mythology and Germanic Paganism. It is based on the Latin Dies Iovi, "Day of Jupiter"; compare: French Judi, Spanish Jueve, Romanian Join and Italian Gloved. In the Roman pantheon, Jupiter was the chief god, who seized and maintained his power on the basis of his thunderbolt (Fulmen). PowerPoint Presentation: Friday The name Friday comes from The Anglo-Saxon word Frigedaeg, which means Frigg’s Day.

Frigg was a goddess of Love in Norse mythology PowerPoint Presentation: Friday : The name Friday comes from the Old English Frigedæg (pronounced [fri.je.dæg] or [fri.je.dæj]), meaning the day of Fringe, the Germanic goddess of beauty, who is a later incarnation of the Norse goddess Frigg, but also potentially connected to the Goddess Freyja. It is based on the Latin Dies Venires , "Day of Venus"; compare: French Vended , Spanish Viennese , Romanian Vineri and Italian Venerd . Venus was the Roman goddess of beauty, love and sex. PowerPoint Presentation: Saturday Saturday, called Saeter-doeg by the Anglo-Saxons, is the seventh day of the week. It is named after the Roman god Saturn and is the only Day named after a Roman god. PowerPoint Presentation: Saturday : Saturday is the only day of the week to retain its Roman origin in English, named after the Roman god Saturn associated with the Titan Crocus, father of Zeus and many Olympians.

Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was Sæturnesdæg (pronounced [sæ.tur.nes.dæg] or [sæ.tur.nes.dæj]). In Latin it was Dies Saturn , "Day of Saturn"; compare: French Samadhi . The Spanish and Portuguese Saba do , the Romanian Sabbath , and the Italian Saba to come from Sabbath Dies (Day of the Sabbath). PowerPoint Presentation: Sunday Sunday is the day of the week it has lots of fun. On this day almost all the families go together For some or the other enjoyment. I feel Sunday is like a short diwali for me. I do things which ,I want and my father is also with me To enjoy. Sunday is the best day in all the day’s. PowerPoint Presentation: Sunday : The name Sunday comes from the Old English Sunnandæg (pronounced [sun.nan.dæg] or [sun.nan.dæj), meaning "Day of the Sun". This is a translation of the Latin phrase Dies Solis . English, like most of the Germanic languages, preserves the original pagan/sun associations of the day.

Many other European languages, including all of the Romance languages, have changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin Dies Dominica ). Compare: Spanish and Portuguese Domingo , French Demarche , Romanian Dominic and Italian Domenici . PowerPoint Presentation: Thank you By-Raunak .M. Runwal PowerPoint Presentation: Days of the week - Religion - Anglo-Saxon Foundation Days of the week Started by Andy , May 03 2008 12:38 PM Please log in to reply 18 replies to this topic Posted 03 May 2008 - 12:38 PM MONDAY It gets its name from the Moon, which in turn gets its name from Mani (Old English Mona), the Germanic Moon god In Norse mythology, Mï¿½ni was the god of the moon and a son of Mundilfari and Glaur. Mï¿½ni pulled the moon through the sky every night, pursued by the wolf, Hati. At Ragnarok, Hati catches up to Mani, trying to consume it as one of the tragedies of Ragnarok.

The Old Norse word mï¿½ni is the everyday word for "moon". In Norse mythology, Hati ("Hateful") is a wolf that according to Gylfaginning chases the Moon across the night sky, just as the wolf Skï¿½ll chases the Sun during the day, until the time of Ragnarï¿½k when they will swallow these heavenly bodies, after which Fenrir will break free from his bonds and kill Odin. TUESDAY The name comes from Old English Tiwes dï¿½g, named after the Nordic god Tyr and is the god of single combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology, portrayed as a one-handed man. In the late Icelandic Eddas, he is portrayed, alternately, as the son of Odin (Prose Edda) or of Hymir (Poetic Edda), This is because the Anglo-Saxons at that time pronounced Tyr's name as "Tiw" thus giving his name to the 3rd day of the week. According to the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, at one stage the gods decided to shackle the wolf Fenrisulfr (Fenrir), but the beast broke every chain they put upon him.

Eventually they had the dwarves make them a magical ribbon called Gleipnir from the noise a cat makes when it moves, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, the spittle of a bird, the beard of a woman, and the roots of a mountain [5]. The gods took those items from the world and that is why they do not exist today. Fenrir sensed the gods' deceit and refused to be bound with it unless one of them put his hand in the wolf's mouth. Tyr, known for his great honesty and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound the wolf. After Fenrir had been bound by the gods, he struggled to try and break the rope. When the gods saw that Fenrir was bound they all laughed, except Tyr, who had his right hand bitten off by the wolf. Fenrir will remain bound until the day of Ragnarï¿½k. As a result of this deed, Tyr is called the "Leavings of the Wolf". According to the Prose version of Ragnarok, Tyr is destined to kill and be killed by Garm, the guard dog of Hel.

However, in the two poetic versions of Ragnarok, he goes unmentioned; unless one believes that he is the "Mighty One". WEDNESDAY The name comes from the Old English Wēdnes dï¿½g, meaning the day of the Norse god Woden (Wodan). Attributes of Odin are Sleipnir, an eight-legged horse, and the severed head of Mï¿½mir, which foretold the future. He employed Valkyrjur to gather the souls of warriors fallen in battle (the Einherjar), as these would be needed to fight for him in the battle of Ragnarï¿½k. THURSDAY The name comes from the Old English ï¿½unresdï¿½g (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse ï¿½orsdagr), meaning Day of Thunor. Thor (Old Norse: ï¿½ï¿½rr) is the red-haired and bearded god of thunder in Germanic paganism and its subset Norse paganism.

The god is also recorded in Old English as ï¿½unor, Old Saxon as Thunaer In the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Thor is the son of Odin and the giantess Jï¿½rd (Jord, the Earth). His wife is called Sif, and little is known of her except that she has golden hair. With his mistress, the giantess Jï¿½rnsaxa, Thor had a son Magni and with Sif he had his daughter Thrud. There is nothing in the myths that states the identity of the mother of his son Modi Thor owns a short-handled hammer, Mjolnir, which, when thrown at a target, returns magically to the owner. His Mjolnir also has the power to throw lightning bolts. The uniquely shaped symbol subsequently became a very popular ornament during the Viking Age and has since become an iconic symbol of Germanic paganism. FRIDAY The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedï¿½g, meaning the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form of Frigg.

(I may be wrong but would the g in old English be pronounced as a y?) In the Eddas, Freyja is portrayed as a goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Blonde,blue-eyed, and beautiful, Freyja is described as the fairest of all goddesses, and people prayed to her for happiness in love. She was also called on to assist childbirths and prayed to for good seasons. Freyja was also associated with war, battle, death, magic, prophecy, and wealth. She is cited as receiving half of the dead lost in battle in her hall Fï¿½lkvangr, whereas Odin would receive the other half at Valhalla The robbery of Brï¿½singamen: The skaldic poem Hï¿½sdrï¿½pa partially preserved in Skï¿½ldskaparmï¿½l relates the story of the theft of Brï¿½singamen by Loki: "One day when Freyja wakes up and finds Brï¿½singamen missing, she enlists the help of Heimdallr to help her search for it. Eventually they find the thief, who turns out to be Loki who has transformed himself into a seal.

Heimdallr turns into a seal as well and fights Loki. After a lengthy battle at Singasteinn, Heimdallr wins and returns Brï¿½singamen to Freyja." The rivalry of Loki and Heimdallr for Brï¿½singamen is an important event, as they are destined to fight again and slay each other at the end of Ragnarï¿½k Baldur's funeral: Baldur, the best of the ï¿½sir, can not be harmed by anything. Loki turned himself into a woman to trick Frigg into revealing that Baldur can only be hurt by the mistletoes. Loki then tricked the blind god Hï¿½dr to shoot his brother with a mistletoe twig, thus Baldur was murdered by the evil giant Loki's trickery. SATURDAYSaturday is the only day of the week in which the English name comes from Roman mythology. The English names of all of the other days of the week come from Germanic mythology. SUNDAY Sunday is named after Sunne (Sï¿½l), Germanic goddess of the sun, from which the word sun is also derived.

Every day, Sï¿½l rode through the sky on her chariot, pulled by two horses named Arvak and Alsvid. She was chased during the day by Skoll, a wolf that wanted to devour her. Solar eclipses signified that Skoll had almost caught up to her. It is fated that Skoll will eventually catch Sol and eat her, though she would then be replaced by her daughter. The earth was protected from the full heat of the sun by Svalin, who stood between the earth and Sol. In Norse belief, the sun did not give light; this was caused by the manes of Alsvid and Arvak. 0 Posted 14 December 2008 - 07:17 PM [quote name='Andy' date='May 3 2008, 12:38 PM' post='11907'] FRIDAY The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedï¿½g, meaning the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form of Frigg.

Before a consonant letter the pronunciation is always 'g' or 'y' after a vowel.

0 Guests Posted 18 December 2008 - 07:47 PM Maybe it was a day that was easy to pronounce and reconisable, maybe they just didn't get around to it. What is interesting about names be they personal, objects or places is how they differ from region to region, for example their are many place names in Kent that have British names, yet kent was quickly overcome, in areas where fighting went on longer British names are less common. Personal names were adopted from the British but changed slightly, probably because of pronunciation i.e Gueniviere became Jennyfer, It could be that the days of the week that were changed were the ones that were difficult to pronounce, the British language in the fourth century would have been a mixture of gaelic and latin of varying degrees depending on the region, there are still plenty of latin words in welsh today. 0 Posted 19 December 2008 - 09:30 AM I have found no reference to any recognition of Saturn as a god. There is an Old English prose text called " The dialogue of Salomon and Saturn. " This is a question-and -answer conversation about the nature of creation and the world.

"Salomon " is presumably the biblical Solomon, the wise man, but why is the other character called Saturn? This raises a question without answering it, but it does show the name had some significance to the early English. It would also be worth checking the Latin -Old English glossaries, of which the Anglo Saxons wrote several . I know one glossary specifically defines "Joppiter " as "Thunor oththe Thur " ( Jupiter;Thunor or Thor ) but don't ask me which glossary! I know of the Epinal glossary and the Leiden glossary but have not found either on-line. Someone else may have more success. 0 Gender:Male Posted 25 October 2009 - 04:44 PM but if they didn't, then the name Saturn wouldn't have meant anything to them- so logically I'd still expect them to change it. I'm baffled. This has long puzzled me, it seems to be something our Elderkin brought with them to the Green & Pleasant.....

Samedi / French Sabato / Italian Sï¿½bado / Spanish, is there a etymologist on the house ? A wild, and probably wide of mark, stab would be the enduring AS-Heathen mystery .. Saexnot. 0 the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own I'VE GOT HIM ON MY LIST !!

Gender:Not Telling Posted 25 October 2009 - 07:07 PM By all accounts there is no proof that the Anglo-Saxons, or the Germanic heathens in general, used the names for the days of the week as we apply them today. Most evidence points to this as a Roman borrowing either along the lines of Germanic mercenaries and/or along the spread of xianity as the scribes translated the day names as best they could. The Romans themselves had vary week lengths such as 9 and 7 days depending on the fashion of the times and mostly as imports from contact with eastern cultures. What we do know about heathen time keeping resides with the ancientness of words like 'week' and 'fortnight' (as a division of the phases of the moon), 'turning' (concerning the moon itself). We have to remember time keeping has to be based on need and there was no need for heathens to micromanage time as we do today.

They measured and thought in terms of months, half years (missera) and years ( basically turnings of the moon and sun), where we today scramble about down to the minute as we scurry about at a frantic pace of life. A day had only significance in so much as a marker in counting to the next moon phase. . .and of course used to sync with solar calendar by adding days as necessary, but that is a whole other complex topic. As for the Saturday thing, this is a good indicator that the scribes clearly had no sound understanding of heathenry and more or less gave up trying to find a correspondence. Xianity needed such for their own ideas of worship and even needed that refined in which to hold their various incessant offices. In fact this practice of day names of heathen gods became a discomfiture to the church and they tried a few times to change this at various times and places, e.g. "Dominus day" for Sunday, and "Sabbat day" for Saturday, not to mention the eradication of Wednesday from German to Mittwoch. In Iceland they even tried to replace them all with numerical designations but such ultimately failed and folk simply resumed using the old day names.

At best we heathens today can acknowledge the day names as honorific and take some pride that the old godsï¿½ names stubbornly persist. 0 Gender:Male Posted 28 October 2009 - 02:21 PM At best we heathens today can acknowledge the day names as honorific and take some pride that the old gods’ names stubbornly persist. Non-Heathen friends are usually amazed when I tell them that the old deities names are in their mouths very frequently. Again, this is something kids are not being taught, either because of xtianity or as part of the more general conspiracy to belittle our English past. They haven't any idea about the female sun or male moon, either. As a "Thursday's child" it is nicer to know that Thunor looks after my birthday rather than "Thursday's child has far to go" as the old nursery rhyme says. I have heard it said that Saturday is from an agricultural deity, Saetere, but can't find any references to this. The person who told me, a reasonably well-known English Heathen author, might have just been indulging in wishful thinking!

I like Ridend's suggestions about re-naming Saturday. 0 Waes Hael! Gender:Not Telling Posted 28 October 2009 - 04:12 PM Non-Heathen friends are usually amazed when I tell them that the old deities names are in their mouths very frequently. Again, this is something kids are not being taught, either because of xtianity or as part of the more general conspiracy to belittle our English past.

As a "Thursday's child" it is nicer to know that Thunor looks after my birthday rather than "Thursday's child has far to go" as the old nursery rhyme says. It is rather amusing that the old gods still get uttered daily without folk be aware of the fact. Indeed this is a little secret but with a little coaxing, curious minds will look further and that can lead to greater things such as recovering our ancestral heritage. I have heard it said that Saturday is from an agricultural deity, Saetere, but can't find any references to this. The person who told me, a reasonably well-known English Heathen author, might have just been indulging in wishful thinking!

. . . Yes, that one has been batted about in heathenry for sometime now. I'm not sure of the origin either at the moment but given the agricultural reference it likely is still the Roman god Saturn. What I do know is that some base it on the word "sætere" or 'one that waylays' or 'one that lies in wait'. Some have pushed this one to be the equivalent of the ON Surtr but that doesn't follow etymologically nor even reasonably given what we know about that entity from ON sources. Some have also proposed that "sætere" meaning 'seditious one, seducer, one who acts insidiously, etc.' as a figure of speech is actually referring to Loca given this same word was applied to 'the devil'. Again, making this equation requires some stretching on many fronts the least of all is buying into the xian mindset and looking at our lore through their eyes. Not good. There is no evidence the A-S knew such a being or if they did they remained silent about him for some obvious reasons. We also have to consider that the ON Loki is etymologically curious and cognates in other Germanic tongues remain elusive or contentious.

It is also rather odd that a heiti would be used as an honorific while that the known gods received no such deference, assuming you think the ancient heathens used day names. You could go down the taboo route but that implies belief even in post-heathen times, yet the persistence of the word would also imply disbelief since the other day names continued as well even if an embarrassment. The same argument for honouring Surtr applies to Loki, in that there would be no logical or sane reason to do so when there are hordes of other gods deserving of getting a named day. This stuff could be debated endlessly but given what we know, there really can be no definitive conclusion. After all naming things is purely a human practice and highly arbitrary and even regional. We are still free to change matters as we see fit. Leave dogma to those dead religions to languish and rot in. 0 Origins of the Days of the Week by Jeremy Nelson - issuu issuu Issuu on Google+ You are encouraged to copy & distribute the information contained in this study course.

The Pagan Origin of the Days of the Week Most people are NOT familiar with how the names of the days of the week actually got their names and what they signify. As believers in God and followers of Christ, we find it necessary to bring this information to ALL people who follow after the ways of the Lord. For too long now we have accepted this so called “reality” that the government pushes on us and called it “freedom”. It is time to wake up and see the wickedness being handed to us on the plate. Paul talks to the people in Galatia about them falling away and turning back to observing days, months, times, and years. Gal 4:9-11 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain. Now if we break apart this set of verses, we will see some interesting things about the reality Paul was telling them about. The first thing Paul mentions is the “turning again to WEAK and BEGGARLY elements.” During the era, paganism and witchcraft were very prevalent all through the land. In these false religions, the people worship the elements of the earth – Air, Fire, Water, & Earth. So it is apparent the Galatians had turned back to their astrology, and earth worship. Then, Paul mentions they were observing days, months, times, and years again. During the time, again, was mass usage of astrology and paganism. All the solstices are watched and prepared for (according to the calendar of today) by pagans to enhance their life in some form or another. When these solstices come around, it is a time a reveling and strengthening for the pagan involved in witchcraft. The Galatians had gone back to their ways of old – away from God! They had turned to the greek gods again!

Now, if the believers at Galatia were being corrected in the Spirit of the Lord by Paul about turning back to the weak and beggarly elements and for paying attention to the days, times, months, and years, then why aren’t any of the “Prophets” or “Teachers” of today doing the very same thing? It is because they do NOT want to step on anyone’s toes if it might harm their reputation with the people. Paul said this to the Church at Corinth: 1Co 9:16-17 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. Therefore, The Gospel of Christ tells us to not turn back to the elements; so lets find out what we have been turning back to without the knowledge of doing so. The pagan origin of the names of the days of the week, we will begin with the first day of the week, commonly referred to as Sunday.

It is far too obvious to see how the enemy has been lying to us. Satan has deceitfully led us all astray into giving honor to the greek gods of mythology.

In the late Icelandic Eddas, he is portrayed, alternately, as the son of Odin (Prose Edda) or of Hymir (Poetic Edda), while the origins of his name and his possible relationship to Tuisto (see Tacitus' Germania) suggest he was once considered the father of the gods and head of the pantheon.

Many of the other days of the week adopted names of Saxon gods in Northern Europe, in Anglo-Saxon.

In the Old English, the day was called Þunresdæg. Eventually the 'n' was dropped due to the influence of the Old Norse version, Þorsdagr. Friday is named after the Nordic goddess Frigg (or Frigga), the wife of Odin. The name comes from the Old English name frigedæg. Now in the other Germanic languages, the day is named after the goddess Freyja. Both goddess seam to be associated with the Roman goddess, Venus.

The days of the week, known as weekdays, are Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , Saturday . Saturday and Sunday are commonly called the weekend and are days of rest and recreation in most western cultures. The other five days are then known as weekdays. Friday and Saturday are days of rest in Muslim and Jewish countries respectively. The biblical Sabbath lasts from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. In many countries, including most of Europe, Asia, and South America, Monday is held to be the first day of the week. In others, including the United States, Canada, and in parts of Africa, Sunday is seen as the first day, a traditional view derived from ancient Jews, Roman Egyptians and the Holy Roman Empire. ISO 8601 defines Monday as the first day of the week, making Sunday the seventh. Etymology Remnants of the Anglo-Saxon and Norse gods remain in the English language names for days of the week, as (more or less) calques of the Roman names: Monday : The name Monday comes from the Old English M?nandæg, meaning "day of the Moon" it is a translation of the Latin name dies Lunae (cf.

Romance language versions of the name, e.g., French lundi) Tuesday : Tuesday comes from the Old English Tiwesdæg, meaning "Tyr's day." Tyr (in Old English, Tiw, Tew or Tiu) was the Nordic god of single combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology. The name is based on Latin Martis Dies, "Day of Mars" (the Roman war god) compare French mardi. Wednesday : This name comes from the Old English Wodnesdæg meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden, more commonly known as Odin, who was the highest god in Norse mythology, and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other places) in England until about the seventh century. It is based on Latin Mercurii Dies, "Day of Mercury" compare French mercredi. The connection between Mercury and Odin is more strained than the other syncretic connections. The usual explanation is that both Odin and Mercury were considered psychopomps, or leaders of souls, in their respective mythologies. However, in Old Norse myth, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetic and musical inspiration.

Thursday : The name Thursday comes from the Old English Þunresdæg, meaning the day of Þunor, commonly known in Modern English as Thor, the Germanic and Norse god of thunder. It is based on the Latin Iovis Dies, "Day of Jupiter" compare French jeudi. In the Roman pantheon, Jupiter was the chief god, who seized and maintained his power on the basis of his thunderbolt (fulmen). Friday : The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedæg, meaning the day of Frige, the Germanic goddess of beauty, who is a later incarnation of the Norse goddess Frigg, but also connected to the Goddess Freyja. It is based on the Latin Veneris Dies, "Day of Venus" compare French vendredi. Venus was the Roman god of beauty, love, and sex. Saturday : Saturday is the only day of the week to retain its Roman origin in English, named after the Roman god Saturn associated with the Titan Cronos, father of Zeus and many Olympians. In Latin it was Saturni Dies, "Day of Saturn" compare French samedi.

Sunday : The name Sunday comes from the Old English sunnandæg, meaning the day of the Sun it is a translation of the Latin phrase dies solis. English, like most of the Germanic languages and several of the Celtic languages, preserves the original pagan/sun associations of the day many other European languages, including all of the Romance languages, have changed the name of the day to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin dies Dominica). What is different is that the gods in question (except Saturn) do not appear to rule over the planets involved. However, as shown above, they correspond to some extent to Roman gods that rule over the respective planets. External articles and references
