History

According to the international standard ISO 8601, which defines date and time formats, Monday is officially the first day of the week. The first edition was published in 1988, replacing earlier conventions. However, some countries have not adopted this standard and still consider Sunday the first day. In ancient times, especially during the development of paganism, Sunday was viewed as the first day, mainly because it was the day of the Resurrection. People were free from work and household duties and used the day to rest.

Many superstitions are associated with Monday. For example, it was once considered unlucky to get married, begin major events, pay off debts, or invite guests on this day. Some of these beliefs originate from the idea that, according to religious tradition, God never called Monday “good” during the creation of the world. Whether you believe this or not is a personal choice. Astrologers say Monday is the most sensitive day of the week and recommend limiting exposure to irritating factors.
