(British Encyclopedia) week

period of seven days, a unit of time artificially devised with no astronomical basis. The origin of the term is
generally associated with the ancient Jews and the biblical account of the Creation, according to which God
laboured for six days and rested on the seventh. Evidence indicates, however, that the Jews may have borrowed
the idea of the week from Mesopotamia, for the Sumerians and the Babylonians divided the year into weeks of
seven days each, one of which they designated a day of recreation.

The Babylonians named each of the days after one of the five planetary bodies known to them and after the Sun
and the Moon, a custom later adopted by the Romans. For a time the Romans used a period of eight days in civil
practice, but in AD 321 Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar and
designated Sunday as the first day of the week. Subsequent days bore the names Moon's-day, Mars's-day,
Mercury's-day, Jupiter's-day, Venus'-day, and Saturn's-day. Constantine, a convert to Christianity, decreed that
Sunday should be a day of rest and worship.

The days assigned by the Romans to the Sun, Moon, and Saturn were retained for the corresponding days of
the week in English (Sunday, Monday, and Saturday) and several related languages. The other weekday names
in English are derived from Anglo-Saxon words for the gods of Teutonic mythology. Tuesday comes from Tiu, or
Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Tyr was one of the sons of Odin, or Woden, the
supreme deity after whom Wednesday was named. Similarly, Thursday originates from Thor's-day, named in
honour of Thor, the god of thunder. Friday was derived from Frigg's-day, Frigg, the wife of Odin, representing
love and beauty, in Norse mythology.
