While Monday is the most dreaded day of the week, Friday is the most anticipated day. Friday is fun for everyone because it means the work week is over and the weekend is about to start. This signifies relaxation for some and partying for others.

However people spend their weekends, Friday is universally seen as the best day of the week. Work seems to go faster as you look forward to staying up late, binging on your favorite shows, or dancing the night away with friends without worrying about having to wake up early the next day.

Let’s learn a little bit more about everyone’s favorite day.

Origin of the Word Friday

friday quotes

The word “Friday” gets its roots from several cultures. Like the other days of the seven-day week, a concept that was created by the Babylonians, it was named after gods and celestial beings in various cultures. Friday was named after Frigg or Freya in Germanic culture, while, in Roman culture, it was named after the Goddess of Love, Venus.

Frigg is known in mythology as the wife of the great god Odin. She is clever, intelligent, and renowned for the foresight and ability to discern the future. While not much more is known about her traits or attributes, she is still regarded as one of the most important goddesses in Norse myth.

Venus, on the other hand, is much more popular in history. Friday gets its name from the “Day of Venus” in several forms, such as vendredi in French, venres in Galician, and viernes in Spanish to name a few. Venus is known as the goddess of love, fertility, beauty, desire, and prosperity. Her image is popular throughout art history, and many people still know of her to this day.

As days of the week were most commonly named after deities in the olden days, it makes sense that, even back then, Friday was already associated with a god that people loved and adored.

Everyone Loves Friday!

friday quotes

To this day, Friday remains a favorite day and a popular one in pop culture. A famous movie and a popular American chain of restaurants popularized the phrase “Thank God, it’s Friday” or “Thank goodness, it’s Friday” (TGIF) just to celebrate the end of the week and upcoming weekend.

Famous songs like “Friday, I’m In Love” and “Friday” by The Cure and Rebecca Black, respectively, have become mainstream media hits.

But what is it about Friday that people love so much? When times get difficult and work piles up, Friday represents that proverbial silver lining that rest days are on the horizon.

Friday is special because we had to go through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to get to it. And finally, after braving the stress and deadlines, the weekend is here.
