You Won’t Guess What Happened to Monday—The Day That Changed Everything! Monday—it’s the day billions rush to escape, a fleeting workday before the weekend. But did you know that Mondays were once more than just a return to routine? In a surprising twist of history, Monday—and the week it anchors—underwent a transformation that quietly reshaped modern life as we know it. ### Monday: From Revolt to Revelation The story begins centuries ago, in 1647, when English Parliamentarians declared Monday an official day of rest and worship, replacing what was then largely a chaotic, unstructured Monday. This wasn’t just a change of calendar; it was a cultural shift that helped establish the seven-day week’s rhythm. But it wasn’t until much later—mid-19th century industrialization—that Monday became the symbolic “start of a new week,” fueling productivity and discipline.
