Sunday
Sunday is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. It gets its name from Sunne, the Saxon Sun god, or Sunna the Scandinavian Sun goddess.Sunday is sometimes held to be the last day of the week (expecially in modern Europe), and sometimes the first day (a traditional view derived from ancient Jews and ancient Egyptians).
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.

CASSIUS.
This tongue had not offended so to-day,
Come, come, the cause: if arguing makes us sweat,
Look,--
When think you that the sword goes up again?
Be well avenged; or till another Caesar

So I hope;
O, if thou wert the noblest of thy strain,
A peevish school boy, worthless of such honour,
Old Cassius still!

CASSIUS.
This is my birth-day; as this very day
Be thou my witness that against my will,
Upon one battle.html">battle all our liberties.
And his opinion: now I change my mind,
Coming from Sardis, on our former ensign
Gorging and feeding from our soldiers' hands;
This morning are they fled away and gone;
Fly o'er our heads and downward look on us,
A canopy most fatal, under which
Believe not so.
CASSIUS.
For I am fresh of spirit, and resolved
Even so, Lucilius.
CASSIUS.
The gods to-day stand friendly, that we may,
But, since th' affairs of men rest still incertain,
If we do lose this battle, then is this
What are you then determined to do?

By which I did blame Cato for the death
But I do find it cowardly and vile,
The time of life;--arming myself with patience
That govern us below.
CASSIUS.
You are contented to be led in.
