“1st Day of the Week: Sunday or Monday?”🤔💭
As we review the days of the week, some of our learning materials may show Monday as the first day of the week, which is common in many modern calendars today.
However, in our Christian understanding and according to the historical and biblical tradition that I follow, Sunday is the first day of the week, with Saturday being the seventh day. This is why you may occasionally see me teaching or referring to the week beginning with Sunday.
The use of Monday as the first day became widely adopted through modern international calendar standards and workweek systems. While many calendars today begin with Monday, I believe it is important for our children to also understand the traditional and biblical order of the week.
My goal is not to confuse our learners but to help them recognize that different calendars may present the week differently while understanding the historical and faith-based perspective that we hold.
Thank you, parents, for your support as we guide our children in both learning and faith.
