German Days of the Week — Etymology Showing Thor Freya and Celestial Origins

German days of the week carry ancient history: Montag (Moon's day), Dienstag (Thing's day — the Norse assembly), Mittwoch (Mid-week — uniquely Germanic, not a god's name), Donnerstag (Thor's day — Donner means thunder), Freitag (Freya's day), Samstag (Sabbath day), Sonntag (Sun's day). Notably, German Mittwoch means "mid-week" while English Wednesday still honors Woden. History hidden in every word.
