TODAY IS THORS-DAY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

HI WAS JUST DISCUSSING WITH MY KIDS LAST NNIGHT THE ORIGINS OF DAYS OF THE WEEK NAMES-

1. 
   The Origins of the Secular Names for the Days of the Week
   We saw how the Hebrew weekdays have no names (except Shabbat). The secular weekday names, however, have very different and unbiblical origins. Every day name is associated with a planet and a pagan god.
