First (day) of the Week - mia ton Sabbaton

Sabbath - sabbaton

Definition: Mia ton Sabbatōn (to sab'-bat-on) Noun, Neuter - First of the Week, Sunday.
The first century Holy Land was populated by people speaking Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
a) The Aramaic word for Sabbath is "sabbata" (singular).
b) To Greeks, "sabbata" sounded like the plural of "sabbaton" (neuter, singular). When they wanted to say "sabbaths," they congugated "sabbaton," to "sabbata" (neuter plural). So "sabbata" means "sabbath" and "sabbaths."
c) The Hebrew word for Sabbath is "shabbat" which sounds a little like "sheva," meaning "seven." Then by alliteration, the Jews concluded "sabbath" was shorthand for the word "week." And the Greeks agreed.

Diagram: The Sign for the term "first of the week," the name of the first or eighth day of the week, is a yellow Christ (1480) circle sitting on top of the signs for Helios, the Sun. The first day of the week is "Sunday." Also see "week."
