Life / WHY ARE POLISH CALENDARS SKEWED? [42]
What Is the First Day of the Week?
The Bible clearly makes the Sabbath the last day of the week, but does not share how that corresponds to our 7 day week. Yet through extra-biblical sources it is possible to determine that the Sabbath at the time of Christ corresponds to our current ‘Saturday.’
Therefore it is common Jewish and Christian practice to regard Sunday as the first day of the week . However, the fact that, for example, Russian uses the name "second" for Tuesday, indicates that some nations regard Monday as the first day.
In international standard ISO-8601 ----the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has decreed that Monday shall be the first day of the week.
