coolscorpioWHY IS SECOND SATURDAY, A HOLIDAY?
October 27th 2006 14:04
According to the book of Genesis in the Bible, the world was created in six days and the seventh day (Saturday) was a day of rest and worship. The ancient Egyptians also considered this day a day of rest and play. Saturday is the Sabbath among the Jews and the only day named after a Roman God, Saturn. In support of this historical belief, across cultures, most employers give their workers either a half day or a full holiday on this day. Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar system and hence second Saturday is a holiday.
