Saturday is the day of rest, Sabbath. Sunday is typically referred to 
as  The Lord's Day  only  by  custom , not  writ.

Also in the ENTIRE bible a day is sunset to sunset. That's not Linux 
compatible which assumes days start at 00:00:00 hrs rather than local 
sunset.
The Romans introduced the Midnight  change  of day to simplify record  
keeping

Friday is Muslim Day of Rest I think.
