Monday is the day of the week that comes after Sunday and before Tuesday. In many cultures, it is considered the first day of the work or school week.
From Old English “Monandæg,” meaning “Moon’s day,” modeled on Latin “dies Lunae.” The name links the day with the Moon, as many ancient cultures associated days with celestial bodies.
The same day many people dread for work is literally ‘Moon-day.’ Hidden in your calendar is an old sky-watching culture that named each day after a cosmic object or god.
