THE ORIGIN OF THE NAMES OF THE DAYS

In ancient times, the Babylonian day began with sunriseand with sunsetamong other people. The earliest method of measuring parts of the day used the sun’s shadow. Sundials, for example, divided the length of daylight into the same number of parts regardless ofseason. Later, an improvementwas made when days were divided into equalparts by using the rate at which water or sand ran out of a container.

The seven days became the standard with the Babylonians. Each day of the week had a special meaning: Sunday (Sun’s day), Monday (Moon’s day), Tuesday (named for Mars), Wednesday (named for Mercury), Thursday (named for Jupiter), Friday (named for Venus), Saturday (named for Saturn).

Have you ever wondered how the names of the Days of the Week originated? The Roman peoples, as did other ancientcivilizations, named the days of the week after the sun, moon and planets, which were gods.
