3 Truths, 1 Lie

We’ve made it to the end of the week, and that’s something to smile about! Whether you have a busy day ahead or a relaxing one planned, we hope this newsletter brings a moment of joy to your morning. 😊 Today, we thought we’d have a little fun to get things started! How much do you really know about Friday? We’ve prepared a light and fun quiz just for you:

Can you guess which of these is not true about Fridays?

A) In ancient Rome, Friday was considered an unlucky day
B) The name 'Friday' comes from the Norse goddess Frigg
C) 'Good Friday' commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus in Christian tradition
D) Friday was named after the Roman god Mars

What do you think is the answer? Comment below your guesses!
I hope you enjoyed this little quiz I prepared! 🥰

Seems to me that two possibilities are false.
Friday was named after the Norse goddess, wife of Odin, sometimes spelt Frida. Obviously not after the Roman god of war, Mars (or it would be Marsday!)
BUT from my understanding of the Roman calender, there were only two specific days - the Ides and the Calends. The rest were days 1, 2, 3 etc. of the month. So it's hard to imagine how the Roman's found 'Friday' a day of bad luck.
