Sunday – (Sun) or Dies Solis (Latin for “day of the Sun”)

 

"Sunday" is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. It is traditionally regarded as the first day of the week in most cultures following the Judeo-Christian tradition. The term "Sun" within this context likely refers to the origin of the word "Sunday", as it is derived from Old English and essentially means "Sun's day". This is a reflection of ancient sun worship, acknowledging the sun as a god.
