Incredible Facts About Mondays by Adebayor1(m): 3:44pm On Sep 08, 2014
Monday
( i /ˈmʌ n d eɪ/ or / ˈmʌ n d i/ ) is the day of the week between
Sunday and Tuesday. According to the traditional Christian, Islamic and
Hebrew calendars, it is the second day of the week, and according to
international standard ISO 8601 it is the first day of the week. The name
of Monday is derived from Old English Mōnandæg and Middle English
Monenday , which means " moon day".

The English noun Monday derived sometime before 1200 from monedæi ,
which itself developed from Old English (around 1000) mōnandæg and
mōndæg (literally meaning " moon's day"wink, which is cognate to other
Germanic languages , including Old Frisian mōnadeig , Middle Low
German and Middle Dutch mānendag, mānendach (modern Dutch
Maandag ), Old High German mānetag (modern German Montag), and
Old Norse mánadagr ( Swedish and Norwegian nynorsk måndag ,
Icelandic mánudagur . Danish and Norwegian bokmål mandag ). The
Germanic term is a Germanic interpretation of Latin lunae dies ("day of
the moon"wink. [1]

Religious observances
In Judaism and Islam Mondays are considered auspicious days for
fasting. The Didache warned early Christians not to fast on Mondays to
avoid Judaizing , and suggests Wednesdays instead.
In Judaism the Torah is read in public on Monday mornings, one of three
days the Torah is read each week (the other two days being Thursday and
Saturday ). Special penitential prayers are recited on Monday, unless there
is a special occasion for happiness which cancels them.
