The way the naming is seven days!
One week in seven days. And these seven days have seven different names. Which is known to us as ‘seven times. But what is the name of these seven times! Do we know that?
The influence of gods and goddesses was much greater in the earlier society. At that time people used to start the day with the names of the gods and end the day by remembering them.
The gods were deeply involved in their daily lives. So the seven days of the week are also named in their memory. They thought it was good. E.g.
1. Sunday:
The name originates from the Greek and Latin words. In Greek and Latin, this day is called Sun Day (Sunday). This name is kept in memory of the sun god. The day is also used in this sense in Spanish and French. Christians and Jews observe this day as ‘Lord’s Day’ (Lord’s Day) and ‘Sabbath Day’.
2. Monday:
