Why We Still Honor Pagan Gods Every Day and Don't Even Know It

Isn't it interesting that the names of the days of the week are steeped in Pagan origins, even though the societies that use these words have historically been anti-Pagan?
These names come from the names of gods in various mythologies and celestial bodies, a tradition tracing back to ancient times.
So why is it that when Christianity took over the Roman Empire and the West, the early Christians chose not to change the names of the week? Why did they allow the Pagan names to exist?

Cool related fact- the Jewish calendar uses Babylonian (thus pagan) names for their months.

[@Agathon255]

In spanish the influence is more roman. Lunes- Luna - Moon. Martes- Mars- Tuesday. Miercoles- Mercury- Wednesday. Jueves- Jupiter- Thursday. Viernes- Venus- Friday. Sabado- Saturno 🪐- Saturday. Domingo, derives from the late Latin [dies] dominĭcus ('day of the Lord'), due to the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. In ancient Rome, this day was called dies solis ('day of the sun').

The French day names are also much closer to the Roman: Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi and Samedi. Sunday is Dimanche, from the Latin dies dominica, or lord’s day, as in Spanish.

Christianity is a Sun religion, thus Sunday is the day.

[@danielcardona2714]

Well many pagan religions including mine have a sun god so let’s count it as something for both of us

6:37 and this is also why the respect should be mutual, considering the teachings of the newest religion in the history of mankind when referring to Christianity and Paganism or any other religions in my opinion. As many aspects of Christianity stem directly from Paganism. I enjoy your knowledge, information and videos a lot. Thank you. 💋

My evergreen question, man!!! 🎉 🌌 📅

[@robinbaby1971]

The rituals that go on every day in front of the public are mad hilarious. Everything is run by the numbers. Not many people can fathom that.

[@stealthtomcat4739]

Almost all after the Norse gods

Why did you depict Mars as African?

This is really great info. And proves that the early religious institution of Rome has always been ungodly & pagan. You canNOT honor the God in Heaven, and honor pagan gods at the same time. The Bible specifically explains this. And it is why on each of our last day, God may say, "I never knew you".

I've been asking this same question for a least 10, I also been asking the Americans slaves do we ever wake up and realize that government doesn't work for us by definition and when do we slaves in America in 2024 throw these tyrannical government officials in prison when 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@douglaswegener6463]

It's our duty to shut that shit down and hold them accountable for their actions or lack there of.
