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", 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". [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.
