2. The English origin of Monday to Sunday
Of course, in addition to the above clever ways of remembering, knowing their English Origin can also help with better memory. Among these seven days, only Saturday (Saturday) is derived from the Roman god Saturn, and the English names of the other six days are derived from the northern gods.
Monday: Moon Day. Westerners dedicate this day to the goddess of the moon because they believe that the full and waning moon will affect the growth of crops.
Tuesday: Ares Day. Legend has it that Tyr, the European god of war, was in charge of law and order. Once he had one of his hands bitten off trying to subdue a wolf spirit, so Tuesday was named after him.
Wednesday: Aeolian Day. Westerners commemorate the storm god "Woden" because he once led the gods to fight against the giants and sacrificed his sharp left eye.
Thursday: Thor Day. This is to commemorate the God of Thunder "Thor", who often carries a big hammer. There are interesting stories about Thor's hammer. Those who are interested can learn about it.
Friday: Friday in ancient English means Frigg’s day. Frigg is the goddess in charge of marriage and fertility in Norse mythology.
Saturday: Originated from the Roman god Saturn, who is the god of agriculture in charge of grains.
