Postby The Divine Imperium » Wed Jun 01, 2011 9:07 pm

I was just wondering what all of you thought the first day of the week is. Monday or Sunday?

Yeah, because Saturday is the one end point and Sunday is the other. Thus, the are on the two "ends" of the week.

My school week used to start on a Monday. My work week starts on a Monday. I'm pretty sure the week starts on Monday. And, I mean, he rested on the seventh day. That's the last day of the week.

Yeah, "he" did rest on the seventh day, according to legend. You do know that the Sabbath is actually Saturday, right?

Actually the 7th day is supposed to be Saturday, the only reason people now see "Sunday" as the 7th day is because the Roman Pope switched the holy day from the Sabbath to Sunday

Well, I voted Sunday. But after learning about the International Organization for Standardization, I have changed my mind.
Headquartered in Geneva, with 162 member countries, the ISO has declared with ISO-8601 that Monday is the beginning of the week. :(

Nope. But I didn't play the video.

Personally, it would be Monday. Officially, like others here have said, it is Sunday.
