Did You Know - Sunday !




Yes, today's post is a 'Did You Know' about Sunday, which consists of six letters ... so here are six facts about Sunday, I hope you enjoy them.

1. The name “Sunday” comes from the Old English word “Sunnandæg,” which means “day of the sun,” as it was traditionally associated with the sun god. In Christianity, Sunday is considered a holy day of rest and worship, and it is often referred to as the “Lord’s Day.”

2. The colour associated with Sunday is yellow in many cultures, possibly because it represents the sun. In many ancient cultures, the sun was associated with the colour yellow, and this association has been carried over into modern times.

3. In astrology, Sunday is associated with the sun, which represents vitality, creativity, and self-expression. According to astrological tradition, people born on a Sunday are believed to be strong-willed, confident, and creative.

4. Sunday is a popular day for brunch, which is a combination of breakfast and lunch. Brunch originated in England in the late 19th century and has since become a popular mealtime in many countries around the world.

5. Sunday is the most popular day of the week for watching television, especially in the evening. This is because many people are at home on Sunday evenings and have time to relax and watch their favourite shows.

6. Sunday is the busiest day of the week for internet usage in many countries. This is because many people are at home on Sundays and have more time to browse the internet and catch up on social media.

Did you know any of these six facts I've shared?
I didn't know that the name Sunday comes from the Old English word “Sunnandæg,” I always think language and it's history is fascinating.

Whatever your plans are for today, may you have a good Sunday.

All the best Jan

Interesting! Here it´s called "Sonntag" and apart from restaurants/pubs and some bakeries and of course petrol stations everything is closed and we have a quiet (internet-) day.

I knew the second part of 1 and 3, 4, 5, and 6. Loved seeing these fun Sunday facts. BTW, I was born on Sunday, so that's how I knew that one.

I knew Sunday had to do with the sun, but not all those details. It's interesting how things change over time and in some ways don't change at all. Hope you're having a good Sunday.

I always assumed brunch started in the USA.
My eldest daughter was born on a Sunday, and she's certainly strong-willed.

Interesting facts about Sunday.

Granny Marigold said...

It amazes me how many words in Old English are similar to German words that we use now. For instance sunnandaeg is now Sonntag. Words and their origin are so interesting.
I didn't know that yellow is associated with Sundays. It's a colour I rarely wear.

I didn't know most of these, but it did make me look up what day of the week I was born :) I spend more of my day crafting on Sunday afternoons, but I do tend to watch Youtube videos while crafting. Our mornings are spent at church and then we have our lunch out at a restaurant sometimes.
