What is the origin of seven English names for seven days a week?

I found an answer for you on the Internet for your reference.

As the first day of the week, Sunday was dedicated to the sun in ancient times, and it was spelled as sunny in old English. The Jewish Sabbath is set on Saturday, and the reason why Christianity changed Sunday to Sabbath is because Jesus was resurrected on this day. Since the 4th century AD, the Roman Catholic Church has designated Sunday as a holiday. On this day, no one is allowed to work, and believers should stop all recreational activities and go to church.

In ancient Roman mythology, the moon was the wife of the sun. Therefore, one day of the week must also be dedicated to the moon. They called the second day of the week Lunaedies, which was translated by the Anglo-Saxons as Monandaeg, meaning Moon Day, and by modern English as Monday.

On Tuesday in Norse mythology, there was a god of war named Tyre, which was equivalent to Mars in Roman mythology. When Fenrir, the wolf spirit, did evil on the earth, Tyre volunteered to catch him. One of his hands was bitten off when he tied the wolf essence. Tyr is spelled Tiw in old English, from which the old English word Tiwesdaeg comes, meaning the day of Tiw. This is the original form of modern English Tuesday.

Wednesdays (Wednesday) is the original text in old English, which means Woden's day. Walden, the father of the German god of war Tyre, is equivalent to Mercury, the god of commerce in Roman mythology. The ancient Romans named Wednesday after Mercury and called Wednesday Mercury Day. In fact, English Wodnesdaeg was translated from this Latin word, but when it was borrowed, Mercury was replaced by Woden.

In Norse mythology, the most powerful and courageous god is Thor. He is equivalent to Jupiter/Jupiter in Roman mythology. When Thor passed by in a chariot pulled by a goat, the sky suddenly thundered and thundered. Thuresdaeg is named after Thor, which means the day of Thor in the original old English.

Friday In old English, the original meaning of Fri Day was frigga/Freya Day. Frigga/Freya, the wife of Walden, the Nordic goddess of love, was abandoned by her husband because she was addicted to luxury life. Goddess is equivalent to Venus in Roman mythology. The Romans named Friday after Venus and called it Venus Day, which means Venus Day. When the word was borrowed from English, Venus was replaced by Frigedaeg by frigga. Wednesday and Thursday are named after frigga/Freya's husband Walden and his son Thor respectively, so Friday is a soothing English song for her. Nordic people regard Friday as the most auspicious day of the week, that is, the wedding day. Friday is an unlucky day for Christians, because Jesus was crucified on this day.

Saturn on Saturday is the god of agriculture or sowing in Roman mythology. Every year on 65438+February 17, the ancient Romans held Saturnalia and reveled in it. They also named the last day of the week after Saturnalia, a translation of English Saturnalia.
