Oratam -- "Tuesday is some Norse god's day." -- ha, ha! good one!
Incidently it seems to be mainly in English and German that these links to the ancient gods in all the names of the days exist.
In polish it translates as sunday=niedziela (no working), monday = poniedziałek (after sunday), tuesday = on track, wed = middle, thu = fourth day, fri = fifth day, sat = sobota (sabbath)
and in French and Italian some of the days have this, others don't.
