Ég hins vegar tel vikuna byrja á mánudegi þar sem það stendur í Biblíunni að á sjöunda degi (þ.e.a.s. á sunnudegi) eigi að vera hvíldardagur og þar með getur sunnudagur nú varla verið fyrsti dagur vikunnar.
Endilega komið með ykkar skýringu.

According to the Bible, God created the Earth in six days, and rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath, i.e. Saturday. This made Sunday the first day of the week, while Saturdays were sanctified for celebration and rest. After the week was adopted in Early Christian Europe, Sunday remained the first day of the week, but also gradually displaced Saturday as the day of celebration and rest, being considered the Lord's Day.
In many places, however, Sunday eventually came to be viewed as the last day of the week. The variation is evident from names of the days in some languages — in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Church Latin and Portuguese, some days are simply called by their number starting from Sunday, e.g. Monday is called “Second day” etc. In other languages, like Slavic languages, days are also called after their ordinal numbers, but starting from Monday, making Tuesday the “Second day”. (According to another possible explanation, days from Monday to Friday in Slavic languages aren't numbered by their position within the week, but by their distance from Sunday, especially given that Wednesday is named “The Middle day”, which makes it a true statement only if Sunday is the first day of the week, however Monday is named “The Day After-No-Work”, which suggests that the starting day of the week was at some time, due to some cultural influence, changed from Sunday (this one associated with “rest”) to Monday.
Tuesday is the first day of the week and it is between Monday and Wednesday. The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars.
