I wish you all a lovely Sunday!Glorious!Profound!💛™And a little bit to find out about the word.Sunday (n.)
first day of the week, the Lord's Day, Middle English son-dai, from Old English sunnandæg (Northumbrian sunnadæg), "day of the sun," from sunnan, oblique case of sunne "sun" (see sun (n.)) + dæg "day" (see day).
A Germanic loan-translation of Latin dies solis "day of the sun," which is itself a loan-translation of Greek hēmera heliou. Compare Old Saxon sunnun dag, Old Frisian sunnandei, Old Norse sunnundagr, Dutch zondag, German Sonntag "Sunday."
In European Christian cultures outside Germanic, the day-name often means "the Lord's Day" (Latin Dominica). Ascription of the sun to the first day of the week is ancient and astrological.
