Saturday

Saturday is the day of the week between Friday and Sunday. Its name is
unique among the names of days, in that it is derived from Saturn.

By tradition derived from ancient Jews, Saturday is the last day of the
week. That convention remains universally standard in the United States, but
in modern Europe many people now consider Saturday the sixth (penultimate)
day of the week, and Sunday the last. The modern European convention has
been formalized by ISO 8601.

In ancient Jewish tradition Saturday is the sabbath. Many languages lack
separate words for "Saturday" and "sabbath". Eastern Orthodox churches
distinguish between the sabbath (Saturday) and the Lord's day (Sunday).
Roman Catholics put so little emphasis on that distinction that many among
them follow -- at least in colloquial language -- the Protestant practice of
calling Sunday the sabbath.
