Let’s give credit where credit is due, and here, good old Constantine gets all the credit. He gave us the word Sun-Day, which he also called Sol Invictus Mithras. He decreed in 321 C.E. under penalty of death that all people were to cease work on this day to honor the goddess Mithras. Enter God’s day 1. Monday was dubbed that name in honor of just that-the moon.The moon was identified with Artemis. She is pictured with a crescent moon beneath her feet as if riding in a boat. Another pagan fertility god! Enter God’s day 2. Tuesday was named after a Norse deity of war considered the son of Woden. The french will refer to it as Mar’s Day, after the Roman deity of war. Enter God’s day 3.

Wednesday was named after a celtic deity highly skilled in magic. He was believed to be the husband of Frigga, another pagan deity. Enter God’s day 4. Well we’ve all heard of Thursday’s main man, Thor, the deity of thunder and son of Woden and Frigga. Thor’s emblem was a hammer. Enter God’s day 5. Friday, it’s finally time to come to Frigga. She’s a pagan fertility goddess rated right up there with the Greeks Aphrodite. She was supposed to be the wife of Woden and mother of Thor. Great backgrounds to these day, huh? Enter God’s day 6. Now we’re at God’s holy day Sabbath, right? Wrong! People took this day and named it after Saturn, the Roman’s deity of agriculture. The word Saturday is linked back to the word Satyr, which was a goat-legged half man with horns and pointed ears. Enter God’s holy Sabbath, but we’ve left everything scriptural behind!!
