Sunday - Rest - Victor Borge Classic Collection - The Legendary Victor Borge - time off - relax
Sometimes you just need a break from work and worry and travel on a Sunday, ready to return reinvigorated on Monday.
The Christian Sabbath is Sunday - named after the day of the Sun. Monday is the day of the moon. Moon, loon, l u n d i in French. Time to learn languages and relax.
The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday, when the Orthodox do not read (except the sacred texts in synagogue, nor travel - which in the olden days would have been tiring if you walked and would have tired your horse or donkey if you travelled a distance with a vehicle.
The Muslim weekly holiday is Friday.
Many Museums and restaurants close on Monday to give their staff a day off.
Now many countries have the luxury of the weekend (in French le weekend). What do you do at the weekend? Pray, rest, sport, shopping, washing, relaxing, family, feasting?
If you are at home, you can travel in time and watch comedy which is understandable in all languages from times past on the internet.
Angela Lansbury, travel writer.
