Wednesday From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Wednesday (disambiguation). The god Woden, after whom 'Wednesday' was named. 'Odin, the Wanderer' 1886 by Georg von Rosen (1843-1923)Wednesday is considered either the third or the fourth day of the week, between Tuesday and Thursday.

Arising from this, the German name for Wednesday has been Mittwoch (literally: 'mid-week') since the 10th Century, having displaced the former name: Wodanstag ('Wodan's day'). The Finnish name is similarly practical: Keskiviikko (literally: 'center of the week') as is the Icelandic name: Mivikudags ('Mid-week day'). According to the Hebrew Bible, Wednesday is the day when the Sun and Moon were created. Wednesday is also in the middle of the common 5-day working week which starts on Monday and finishes on Friday. However, see also Thursday. In Romance languages it is derived from the name of the Roman god Mercury: mercredi (French), m
