Tell me more about _______?

[pocaracas]

I think of the week as starting on Monday. That's how I always thought of it as. I learned late in life that most people think of sunday as the first day in the week. I don't know how I came to think of monday as the first day. The rest of my family considers it sunday and I was homeschooled so...

I can dimly recall how I came to think of Sunday as the beginning of the week. I was in a room. There was something on the wall with numbers on it. Oh wait, there are words too. There are seven columns and the word over the first one from the left was "Sunday". Thank you for helping me recover this memory.

Around this country, the week days follow the liturgical names.
Monday is called "Segunda-Feira", segunda means second, feira means fair (like a market).
Tuesday is called "Terça-Feira", terça means third, feira is the same...
Wednesday is called "Quarta-Feira", quarta means forth...
Thursday is called "Quinta-Feira", quinta means fifth....
Friday is called "Sexta-Feira", sexta means sixth.
Saturday is Sábado
Sunday is Domingo.

So you see... we know right off the bat that Monday is the second day.
Also, as a bonus, we don't need to memorize many names for days!
But find it difficult to remember all your pagan day names.
