Date Names The common names of days of the week and months of the year,such as "Sunday" and "January", were adopted in honor of pagan deities. Friends have traditionally rejected such vocabulary and have called the days of the week and the months of the year by their numbers, thus:
First Day (sunday)
First Month (january) Seventh Month (july)
It is interesting that, earlier in this century, Friends began accepting use of the common date names, feeling that any pagan meaning has been forgotten, while as the 20th comes to a close, most of us write (or type) dates using their number designations. Perhaps the Quaker usage will catch on in common speech as well. |
