The word “calendar” translated from Latin means literally the following: “loan entry”, “debt book”. The fact is that in ancient Rome, debtors paid debts or interest on them in the days of calends - in the first days of the month. Hence the name. But the Greeks cale was not. Therefore, the Romans said ironically about hard-core defaulters that they would return the debt to the Greek calends, that is, it is not known when. This expression has become popular in many languages of the world. Well, the modern 12-month calendar appeared thanks to the Roman emperor Guy Julius Caesar. Prior to this, there was a calendar of 10 months running. In the four-year cycle, three years have 365 days, and the fourth, 366 days. Thus, it was possible to achieve the correspondence of the calendar of the time of the Earth’s revolution around the Sun.
In Slavic languages, Monday has the meaning of the first day or, according to one version, the day after the week, since “Week” is the old Russian word for modern Sunday. In Hindi, Monday is the Day of the Moon.
In Slavic languages, this day is clearly read as an ordinal numeral, that is, it is the “second” day of the week. In Hindi, Tuesday is Mars Day.
In the Slavic "environment", "middle", etc. The ancient Russian name of the medium "tretnik" is rarely found. Note that astrologically, Mercury is considered to be an average, asexual planet - neither male nor female. In Hindi Wednesday - Mercury Day.
In Slavic languages, Thursday, like Tuesday, is a purely numerical value of the fourth day. In Hindi, Thursday is Jupiter's Day. They have a direct connection with the ancient thunder god Thor, the counterpart of Jupiter.
Friday has a parallel with the Norse goddess of fertility and love Freya (Frigga), an analogue of the Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus. In Slavic languages, this day is within the meaning of the "fifth". In Hindi, Friday is Venus Day.
The Russian name "Saturday" goes back to the Hebrew "Shabbat", meaning "peace, rest." In this sense, one of the astrological meanings of Saturn - motionlessness, concentration, successfully echoes Shabbat. Interestingly, the Slavic languages, for no reason at all, are unanimous with the Latin, their Sabbath means "the day of ablution", from where we learn that the ancients washed themselves once a week. In Hindi, Saturday is Saturn Day.
Sunday is the Day of the Sun in Latin, English and German, in many languages this day is indicated by various variations of the word "Sun / Son" (Sun). The Russian "Sunday" appeared in the same way, replacing the old name for this day, "Week", successfully preserved in other Slavic languages - Week (bol.), Nedilya (ukr.), And others. In Hindi, Sunday is the Day of the Sun.
