Monday!!!

Monday is the day of the week between Sunday and Tuesday.Te international ISO 8601standard places Monday as the first day of the week, and this is widely used on calendars in Europe and in international business. Modern western culture usually looks at Monday as the beginning of the workweek, as it is typically Monday were adults go back to work and children go back to school after the weekend. Jewish and some christian traditions place Sunday as the first day of the week, and Monday is thus the second day of the week.This is the standard format in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Israel. In Judaism and Islam Mondays are considered auspicious days for fasting. In the Eastern Orthodox church Mondays are days in which the angels are commemorated. In Islam Monday was the day that Muhammad used to fast on, as this was the day he was born. Monday aligns with the celestial body, the moon, and the astrological sign of cancer, and is represented by the symbol of moon.
