Frigga's Day

Today is Frigga's day (some source says: Freya's day).
German languages kept the memories of goddesses and gods. Friday too:

  • Friday (English)
  • fridag (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish)
  • Freitag (German)
  • vrijdag (Dutch)

In the hungarian language word Friday is: péntek. It is a loanword from slavic languages. 'Péntek' means: 5th. The reason is probably that friday is the 5th day in a week.
