Yes, Why does the Spanish week begin with Monday?

Weird, but that is not the only calendar that starts normally. Most of the calendars start with a monday. It is the first day that G-D started making the earth. How would he be able to rest first and then make the earth? No, first he started on Monday, then went through saturday and on sunday he rested after all the work that he has done.

In order to make sense of what actually occurred, we have to research the historical shift of the spanish calendar responsible by the roman catholic church (321 AD- The Emperor Constantine). The jewish people are known to be the original sabbath keepers, thus, they continued to keep the sabbath day on the seventh day, which is saturday ( The original cslendar) for thousands of years, even to this day. See ...( Daniel 7: 25.) ( Exodus 20:8-11.)

The week starts with Monday, because it allows Saturday and Sunday, refered to as the weekend, to be at the end of the week, unlike in the U.S.

You mean why does the spanish WEEK start with Monday?
The names and order of the days of the week come from Rome:
Lunes or monday for the moon day or luna
Martes or Tuesday for Mars
Miércoles or Wednesday for Mercury
Jueves or Thursday for Jove or Jupiter day (the English word may come from Viking god Thor)
Viernes or Friday for Venus (the english word may come from Viking goddess Frida)
Sábado from the Hebrew Shabbath (The English word Saturday may come from Saturn)
Domingo from the Latin Dominus (or lord, the English word Sunday means obviously, the day of the sun)

What day of the week did you start to work?
Your weekend (WEEK END) is friday and saturday or saturday and sunday?
The question is why in USA the week start on SUNDAY.?
Originaly the week starts on sunday, the old testament or bible says that GOD creates the world in 6 days and he rest on the seventh day (SATURDAY)
Jesus came and told the people something like "jews take off the Saturdays, we will work on saturday and take off sunday" or so

because in some international places their calendars educate the first artwork and college day of the week because the first day. some international places commence their artwork week on Sunday. the reality is that Sunday is the first day of the week in maximum international places, inspite of it truly is the first operating day. << maximum agency and social calendars interior america and Canada mark Sunday because the first day of the week, in spite of the reality that interior the united kingdom, Australia, South Africa and South u.s., Monday is seen the first day of the operating week. Sunday became the first day of the astrological week, the Hebrew week, and interior the Ecclesiastical Latin week of the first millennium. In Jewish and Christian custom, the first day of the seven day week is Sunday >>

I really don't know but "Got bored" isn't right for saying it has to do with catolic faith. I'm an ortodox christian and in my country week also begins with Monday.
