Before you watch • Read about the Origins of the English names for days of the week: • • Monday - comes from the Old English Mōnandæg (day of the Moon) and is a translation of the Latin name dies Lunae. • • Tuesday - comes from the Old English Tīwesdæg (Tyr's day). Tyr (a.k.a. Tiw, Tew or Tiu), was the Nordic god of single combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology. • • Wednesday - comes from the Old English Wōdnesdæg (day of Woden). Woden or Odin was the top Norse god, and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons in England.

•Thursday- comes from the Old English Þunresdæg (the day of Þunor). Þunor or Thor was the Germanic and Norse god of thunder. • • Friday - comes from the Old English Frigedæg (day of Frige). Frige was the Germanic goddess of beauty, who is a later incarnation of the Norse goddess Frigg, but also connected to the Goddess Freyja. • • Saturday - named after the Roman god Saturn from the Latin it was diēs saturnī (Day of Saturn). • • Sunday - comes from the Old English Sunnandæg (day of the Sun). This is a translation of the Latin phrase dies solis.
