Etymological analysis of the word "Friday"
Friday /5 fraidi/n

Etymological analysis: In Old English, Friday was originally written as Frigedaeg, meaning the day of frigga. Frigedaeg is directly translated from Latin Dies Veneris, "Venus Day" (Venus Day). Because the Babylonians named Friday after Venus, old English borrowed this phrase directly to mean Friday. Because frigga is the wife of the Lord God Odin and the mother of Thor, after dedicating Wednesday and Thursday to Odin and Thor respectively, the British dedicated Friday to her. Now westerners think Friday is unlucky, because the Bible says that Adam was created on Friday. He and Eve ate the forbidden fruit on Friday, and they both died on Friday. Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, killed his brother Abel on Friday. So now there is a saying of Black Friday in the West.

Frigga, the Nordic goddess of love

Cultural background: Love God Friger

As Odin's wife, frigga, the goddess of love, naturally assumed the responsibility of dominating the family and marriage. With a good face, she won the love of the gods. As the goddess of love, she is naturally unfaithful to her husband, addicted to love, and keeps an ambiguous relationship with other gods, even Odin is powerless. She was jealous, but kept her mouth shut about Odin and didn't mention anything she knew. She likes to wear a white robe, wear a gold belt and a bunch of keys, and jingle when she walks. She likes bright clothes and shiny gold and silver jewelry, and even steals gold from her husband's statue for a necklace. Later, Odin discovered her bad behavior and had to run away from home, so the world was in chaos. The frost trolls from the north dominated everything, and the world became desolate and lifeless. When Odin returned to Asgard, the power of the frost giant gradually retreated. Frigga has three maids. One helps her and protects those who don't want to be hurt. The other takes care of her jewelry box and clothes. The other is riding a fine horse, running in the blue sky and the ocean, spreading the message of love.
