Does Monday begin after the resurrection or Sunday?

How correctly to write, say, a sentence: "Monday will come after ... resurrection or Sunday"? It's about the day of the week. In writing the correct use of a soft sign or the letter "and"? And here is another example: "After the resurrection (or Sunday?) Jesus ascended to heaven." Which word more accurately conveys the phenomenon of animation after death? When there are doubts, what word to use in a certain context, it is worth remembering that they are not synonymous, although they are etymologically extremely close.

…Friday Saturday Sunday

In the pagan usage of the week, the last, seventh day of the week (which was preserved in related Slavic languages) was called the week. Today it is called Sunday, and the week is called "week". The etymology of the other days of the week cycle is quite clear: the next day after the week (Sunday) was called Monday, the second after it - Tuesday and so on. Wednesday was the middle of a seven-day cycle, because Sunday our Christian forefathers considered not the last, but the first day of the week, intended for rest and worship of the Creator. And here the story of this day is closely connected with the biblical information about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let's talk about this in more detail, but for now let us note that the surprising phenomenon, which gave the name of the day of the week, was preserved almost entirely in its title, changing only in a single letter at the end of the stem of the word.

Lord's Day of Resurrection

In the Old Slavonic language the word "armchair" meant "health, revival". In Latin, the lexeme creo means "I create, I create." According to the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ was executed on Friday, and on the third day after his death he was resurrected. His resurrection, after a painful death, triumphed over sin and granted eternal life to believers, and the day of the week in which it happened gained its name.

Famous Sundays

On the widely known Providence, Sunday is well known today not only to Christians. In this last before the Great Lent and, accordingly, on the seventh before Easter Sunday, it is customary for all to apologize for the insults - conscious and unconscious, and to forgive all without exception.

We will not leave without mention and some of the events captured in the history with the sinister title "Bloody Sunday". These are the days in which the massacres were committed, most often during the suppression of popular uprisings or in the course of other events, when crowds of thousands crowded into the streets and squares of cities. Such Sundays were in France, in England, in Ireland, in America, in Poland, in Turkey. There was such a day in Russia. Bloody Sunday was called the armed dispersal of the peaceful demonstration of the Putilov factory workers in St. Petersburg, which happened on January 9, 1905. People composed a petition to the tsar and walked to the Winter Palace to hold peace talks with the autocrat, but were greeted with volleys of firearms. Hundreds of people died that day.

What are they, risen souls?

The meaning of the word "resurrection" defines the process of returning to life at a qualitatively new level. It is not just a renewal of the physical properties and functions of a previously deceased organism, but some renewal, a spiritual breakthrough, which is caused by a serious, provoked from above test. In this sense, the word is often used in a metaphorical manner.

Is it possible to experience a moral rebirth, become a new person in a spiritual sense as a result of resurrection or Sunday? In this context, it becomes obvious that these two words are not at all lexical.

The novel "Resurrection"

On the eve of the twentieth century Leo Tolstoy created his last novel, which became a literary event in his homeland and almost immediately - beyond its borders. The plot is based on the piercing story of the commoner Katya Maslova, who first seduced and threw it, and then tried to save Prince Dmitry Nekhlyudov. In the novel there is everything: both a dramatic line of deceived hopes and debunked illusions, and the frightening injustice of judicial decisions, and ruthless detailed introspection, and the search for a way out of the dark spiritual impasse. As the plot develops, each of the heroes undergoes his own spiritual resurrection, comprehending the truth in trials. In the novel, Tolstoy clearly set forth the interpretation of the evangelical idea of Christ's love, because of which he was condemned by religion.

Musical group

In the late seventies of the last century in the Soviet Union, under this meaningful name, an interesting musical group emerged. The leader of the "Resurrection" (or "Sunday", as sometimes wrongly written the name of the ensemble) was the composer, guitarist, vocalist Alexei Romanov. For its long history, the collective has repeatedly disintegrated, been prosecuted, changed the composition and offered the listener a consistently high-quality product. Risen as a Phoenix from the ashes, at the beginning of the new century, the ensemble fully justified its own name, the subtext of which is clearly read in the group's texts too - the renewal of the inner world of each personality occurs only in the persistent search for the meaning of life and the intense efforts of the soul.
