Sunday ( or ) is the
day of the week following
Saturday but before
Monday. For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the
Lord's Day and the day of Christ's resurrection. Sunday is a day of rest in most Western countries, part of 'the
weekend'. In some
Muslim countries and
Israel, Sunday is the first work day of the week. According to the
Hebrew calendars and traditional Christian calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week, and according to the
International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week. No
century in the
Gregorian calendar starts on a Sunday, whether its first year is considered to be '00 or '01. The
Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. (The rules of the Hebrew calendar are designed such that the first day of
Rosh Hashanah will never occur on the first, fourth, or sixth day of the Jewish week; i.e., Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday).
