Days and Months forget about the years

So I have known for some time that our English version of the gregorian calandar had pagon/norse names for the days of the week. So I decided to investigate a little more about this.

and I found this neat little table and info on a Skeptics.com article about mounths
--------------------------------------------
Seven was chosen apparently in acknowledgment of the Genesis story where God rested on the seventh day[saterday not sunday] although there is a strong suggestion that it reflected the seven pagan gods visible in the sky as the planets, sun and moon
The names of the days in Latin countries are sensibly the Roman gods but the English ones are mostly the equivalent Nordic gods.

Sunday (sun) = Dimanche (dies Domini, Lord's day)
Monday (moon) = Lundi (moon)
Tuesday (Tiw) = Mardi (Mars, god of war)
Wednesday (Woden, Odin) = Mercredi (Mercury, messenger god)
Thursday (Thor) = Jeudi (Jove, Jupiter, top god)
Friday (Frigg, Freya) = Vendredi (Venus, god of love)
Saturday (Saturn, Roman god of agriculture) = Samedi (Sabbath day)
--------------------------------------------
now I knew the Norse references but not the latin ones, or the planet info.

I was also curious about where the names of the mounths came from and found this on info please

--------------------------------------------
January: named after Janus, the god of doors and gates
February: named after Februalia, a time period when sacrifices were made to atone for sins
March: named after Mars, the god of war
April: from aperire, Latin for “to open” (buds)
May: named after Maia, the goddess of growth of plants
June: from junius, Latin for the goddess Juno
July: named after Julius Caesar in 44 B.C.
August: named after Augustus Caesar in 8 B.C.
September: from septem, Latin for “seven”
October: from octo, Latin for “eight”
November: from novem, Latin for “nine”
December: from decem, Latin for “ten”

NOTE: The earliest Latin calendar was a 10-month one, beginning with March; thus, September was the seventh month, October, the eighth, etc. July was originally called Quintilis, meaning fifth; August was originally called Sextilis, meaning sixth.
--------------------------------------------

now other sources told me that the mounth names of July and August were changed to roman emperers names because they did great work on the calandar. suposedly Julius Caesar brought the idea of a solar calandar back with him from Egypt, and so they honoured him with a month name in between the gods and the numbers. Augustus was rome's first emporer and helped wth calculating leap years.

the gregorian calandar we use is pope gregory XIII final version. and I find it very interesting that our christion based calandar has so many pagon/mythical references

so there's a wee bit of inane info you can think about next time your looking at your calandar. and hay there not done, there is people who are still patitioning the UN to change the Calandar.
