Happy Monday!!
May your day be marvelous!!
Joey wants to know if you know where the seven (7) days of
the week came from? Sometime around the 6th century B.C. the seven
days of the week came from the ancient Babylonians. The ancient Babylonians
divided their year into weeks. The ancient Babylonians named the days of the
week after the sun, moon, and planets. The days of the week names have been
changed many times over the years by many different cultures leading up to our
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday week names.
What is your favorite day of the week?
