      Yeah seriously, this annoys me so much, that I changed the calendars on my phone and PC to start the week on Monday. It simply makes more sense.

        Why do France, a country with a big christian influence, starts on monday then? And most european countries too

        And I thought that in those religions God rested on the last day or something

          Germany switched to starting Monday in 1969/1976. Before, since the middle age, it had been practice to start the week on Sunday. However, I don’t know why this was changed.

          Traditionally, the seventh, “no-work”, day is Sabbat, which happens to be on Saturday.

          Wouldn’t the day God rested have been the first full day humanity existed, and so the first day of the week (and of all time). I don’t really use a particular day to start my week personally, I keep my calendars in day by day mode.

      Week starts with church day, as God intended!

      (I don’t actually know the reason, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the reasoning for the Gregorian calendar)
