Days of the week


This is a sign I found in a local bank here...thought you might like to see the Norwegian names of the days of the week. Mandag (Monday) is named after the moon, Tirsdag (Tuesday) is named after 'Tyr' the godess of love, Onsdag (Wednesday) is named after 'Odin' the god war, Torsdag (Thursday) is named after 'Thor' the god of thunder, and Fredag (Friday) is named after 'Freyya' the goddess of beauty. Not sure about Saturday or Sunday...I'll have to get back to you on that ;)
