Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter III. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 3, sentence 95

Wednesday, the day consecrated to Odin, the eve of the day sacred to the Thundergod,[254] may also have been held holy by the heathen Slavonians, but to some commentators it appears more likely that the traditions now attached to it in Russia became transferred to it from Friday in Christian times--Wednesday and Friday having been associated by the Church as days sacred to the memory of Our Lord's passion and death.

Who acts: Wednesday, heathen Slavonians, it, Church · What happens: consecrate, sacre, hold, appear, attach, transfer · To what, where: day, traditions, Thundergod, Russia, Wednesday
