What a nice place you live in.
Isn't Sunday the special day for Christians?
In Portuguese, the week days are named in your way...
Start with Sunday, Domingo... From Latin Dominus, day of the Lord.
Monday is Segunda feira, or second fair.
Tuesday is Terça feira, os third fair.
Wednesday is Quarta feira, or fourth fair.
Thursday is Quinta feira, ou fifth fair.
Friday is Sexta feira, oh sixth fair.
Saturday is Sábado, which would clearly be the seventh fair, but is a rest day.
That's about right, the 7th day is called "Sabado" or Shabbat, Sabbath etc in many different languages. Sunday, or the venerable day of the Sun god was adopted by the world church, or Catholic church, and has remained in place ever since. The Christian world kept the 7th day, until Sunday became compulsory by the end of the fourth century.
It was initially a political move by the Roman emperor, who became the Bishop of Rome, to get the votes of both the Pagan and Christian majorities.

After the Great Disappointment ( actually the second Great Disappointment ) they changed their name and rebranded themselves. There are always xtians who think the world is ending. They've all been wrong.
You know..... "jesus" may just have been full of shit!"
You know something which a lot of people don't. As for being wrong about the end of the world, they'd only have to be right once wouldn't they?

I've always manifested a bit more respect for 7th Day Adventists, they come within 12 hours (on average) of actually remembering and keeping Holy the Sabbath, just as they are Commanded to do.
I have been surprised by several comments on this forum, you seem to be more knowledgeable than those on Christian forums, and yet many of you claim to be 'outside' of that circle.
I am touched.
