The Romans got drunk on Saturday night.
Because Saturday and Sunday are more along the lines of "book ends"; they sandwich the rest of the week.
It isn't on my new calendar. Monday is first. That is going to be a problem for me, I can already tell.
Aren't you Jewish?
You should know the Catholics screwed it up.
Some, "Christians", even refer to Sunday as the Sabbath, although as far as I can tell it has always been the seventh day, or Saturday.
Many still use the Julian calendar format rather than the Gregorian change held by the ISO.
Agreed.
I don`t call it the first day of the week. Of course, if New Year`s Day happens to fall on a Sunday then of course it is the first day on the calendar. As it happens, the next New Year`s Day (2017) does fall on a Sunday.
The week has two ends, front and back. What is your problem?
In the 19th century Americans started moving west and three institutions went with them. There was vaudeville, traveling entertainment. There was lyceum, traveling education and culture. And there was the itinerant preacher, offering a new style of preaching called "hell fire and brim stone". It was very entertaining, only loosely based on scripture, and pastors didn't even try to compete. Instead they switched to preaching public morality and philosophy. Eventually an entire generation grew up not knowing the first thing about the religion they claimed to believe. That is why most Christian churches don't teach doctrines, and most members don't know what they are supposed to believe.
I want one...where can I get one.
My ends are head and feet. No problem.
Sunday is the 7th day of the week where I live.
According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day and Sunday is the 7th and final day of the week.
Although this is the international standard, several countries consider Sunday as the start of the week. Sigh.
