Of course, the bible does not mention those names, which are of
Latin-Germanic origin if I'm not mistaken (Thursday = Thor's day, Friday =
Freya's day etc.).
I may misunderstand you, but I was not talking about the crucifixion, but
the resurrection of J.C. which is celebrated each Sunday.
But to be honest: It is absolutely arbitrary which day one chooses to let
the week begin, isn't it?
