Days of the Week


Sunday -- Sun's day
Monday -- Moon's day
Tuesday -- Tiu's day
Wednesday -- Woden's day
Thursday -- Thor's day
Friday -- Freya's day
Saturday -- Saturn's day





Tiu:  Old English name for the Sky-God, Norse Mythology

Woden: Old Norse meaning "fury."

The Roman's had the same god named, "Mercury."

Notice:  When a German met a Roman, they both believed in the god who represented "fury."  So, to them, they believed they had different words for the same exact god.  Good paper topic or Xtranormal video.

Freya: Norse mythology; goddess of love and fertility

Known as "Aphrodite" to the Greeks and "Venus" to the Romans.
