Why is Saturday called Saturday and Sunday called Sunday?

The Hebrews believed that God created the Earth and heavens in seven days. This notion of a holy sanction for the seven day week was passed on to other peoples and religions, including Christians and Moslems.

Tuesday is named for the Norse god of War. Wednesday was named after Woden (or Odin), the chief of the pantheon. Thursday was named for the Scandanavian god of thunder, Thor.
