Sunday (IPA: /ˈ ˈsʌndi or sʌndeɪ,/ Listen (help·info)) is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. In the Jewish law it is the first day of the Hebrew calendar week. In many Christian traditions it is the Christian Sabbath, which replaced the Jewish Shabbat. Sunday is considered the first day of the week in many countries, including the United States and Australia, although today some countries such as the United Kingdom regard Sunday as the seventh day, and the last day of the civil week.









Sunday is considered a non-working day in many countries of the world, and is part of "the weekend". Countries predominantly influenced by Jewish or Islamic religions have Friday or Saturday as a weekly non-working day instead.

The Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years, and no century starts on a Sunday. The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. Any month and only those months beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th.
