- In olden times each day of the week had certain superstition attached to it such as people getting married on Friday this day was supposed to be for crosses, Tuesday and Saturday were the lucky days. Monday was never a favourite day for starting any work a journey or such like. Saturday was considered an unlucky day for starting any work, work started on a Saturday was supposed to be never finished in account of the Sabbath day coming between.
