Is Sunday the first or last day of the week?

Westerners generally think that Sunday is the beginning of a week, while orientals conceptually think that Monday is the beginning of a week.

From a religious point of view, the Bible believes that God created everything in the world in six days, and rested on the seventh day. The seventh day began on Sunday, and the seventh day was Saturday, so Judaism took Saturday as the Sabbath.

Christianity changed Sunday to Sunday because Jesus rose on Sunday. Islam believes that God finished his creation work on the sixth day, which should be celebrated, so Friday is designated as the main worship day, and Saturday is the first day of the week here.

Zhoulaiyuan

Zhou originated in Babylon as a time period. At present, the system of seven days a week, which is widely practiced all over the world, was first formulated by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. On March 7th, 32 1 year, he officially announced a seven-day week, and this system has been in use ever since.

In China, when Christianity spread in China in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Zhou gradually became known. After the use of the Gregorian calendar was stipulated in the Republic of China, the week gradually became popular.
