Today is Friday again. Time flies so fast. Nature changed its color from green to yellow, red and burgundy. And my mood changed from a fun-filled as possible for nekromarinist on philosophical. Therefore, I decided to find out what does this word "Friday" means.

There was a time when the names of the objects and events around us were given with a deep meaning. Now we do not notice things like that. For example, the word Friday on the calendar, we perceive just as the day of the week, the end of the working week and ahead of the weekend. But if we consider in more detail about what was happenning on that day of the week, consider the origin and meaning of the word ...

Many different events took place on Friday. For example, the French King Philip IV ordered the arrest of the members of the Templar Knights. Events from the Bible: Adam ate the forbidden fruit and was expelled from paradise, events in Sodom and Gomorrah, the murder of John the Baptist, Christ's crucifixion. We all have heard a lot about Friday 13. And its not the end of the list.

The value of Russian word "Friday" (Пятница-пять) comes from the ordinal numeral "five". In the German language as Friday - «der Freitag» - borrowed from the name of the goddess Freya. Freya - Norse goddess of love and fertility, which corresponds to a well-known Roman goddess Venus or Aphrodite.

The English name of Friday, comes from the Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning "day of Frigg" in the name of the goddess of Norse mythology, Frigg (OI Frigg -. Beloved), the wife of god Odin, the goddess of love. In most languages ​​of India, Friday - Shukravar, named after the god of Shukra, which is also the name of the planet Venus in Sanskrit.

The Cure dedicated one of their most famous songs Friday  - Friday I'm In love. And today I dedicate this song to us all


 Have a great weekend :)  Sincerely yours, @nekromarinist
