Days of the week

Names of the days of the week, spring from the names of pagan gods:Sunday - Sun god
Monday - Moon god
Tuesday - Tiu, Germanic god of war
Wednesday - Odin, Norse supreme god
Thursday - Thor, Norse god of thunder, weather, and crops
Friday - Frigga, wife of Odin and Norse goddess of married love and of the hearth
Saturday - Saturn, Roman god of agriculture.







Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go;
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
