t/l/ednesday, finally the middle of
the school week, and only two days to go.
Wednesday was a problem for the
Teutons. The Romans called this day
dies Mercurii (“day of Mercury”) .
Mercury was the tireless traveling
messenger of the gods who covered a
¥
great deal of ground in a short time. The
Teutons had no god exactly like that.
Woden, the god of wisdom, wind, and
warriors, resembled Mercury closely, so
the Teutons selected Woden, and
honored him with the day called
Wodensdag or Wednesday. Students
found Wednesday to be a religious day,
sometimes filling the evening with
confirmation classes and church. It
seemed when no one knew what day it
was it was concluded “It must be
Wednesday”.
lAJednesday was not a Dusti Grady. Some people wednesday/13
prime day for Freshman are a bit camera shy.
