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?

Not if we want to keep on calling saturday/sunday the week-end. :-)
Anyway, there is a European Standard that specifies, that the week
starts on monday, so in Europe at least, it is official. Don't know
about the rest of the world.

I'm no Bible expert; the crucifixion is the only link I know between the
ancient Jewish week and the modern week. If the crucifixion was the day
before "the day of rest", then the resurrection must be the day after.

So we agree and I got you partly wrong.

"On the third day he rose again", so could be the day after the day
after... depends on if you count the day he was buried as the first day or
not.
But standard calendars have the week ends in their proper places, at
both ends of the week. The week starts at one end on Sunday and goes through
the other end which is Saturday.

Zero-based indexing is rare in the ancient world; that bit, at least, is
uncontroversial: the cross-raising was day 1 (Friday), the resurrection
day 3 (Sunday).

American standard, yes, but evidently not Eurostandard.
