UK monday=Segunda-feira tuesday=terça-feira thursday=quinta-feira friday=Sexta-feira saturday=sábado sunday=domingo boring workdays seem to be numerical, the weekend days are liturgical, saturday was the old sabbath day, sunday is in the church's minds, the lord's day (dominus), and thus the first day, which is why monday is segunda. feira=market, so i guess that the weekdays are market days, that is 'working' days where the people generally did not have the time to get into religious trouble, as opposed to the licentious weekends where they needed tha firm hand of the church's guidance to keep them in line. us heretics, however, still honour the old gods. .

Posted by: fernando Lead Moderator European Armoury Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Portugal Ah, ah . You missed wednesday=quarta-feira, by the way. The whole thing started in the year 563, when a church concilium was held in the Portuguese city of Braga. Bishop Martinho was the one that decided on naming the days in such way. Feira, first of all,comes from feria=resting (holiday). Contrary to one's perplexity that week days are for working and not for rest, the bishop's original idea was only to apply those names to the Holy Week, but later common people vulgarized the norm and attributed it to the whole year. Therefore the first day being Domingo, the next is segunda (second) feira, then terça (third) feira and so on. . Last edited by fernando; 20th October 2017 at 04:57 PM. |
