Friday is the fifth day of the week, following Thursday and preceding Saturday. In many cultures, it is considered the last day of the workweek, leading to a sense of anticipation for the weekend. The name "Friday" is derived from the Old English word "Frīgedæg," which means "day of Frigg," the goddess of love and fertility in Norse mythology. In various cultures, Friday holds special significance. For example, in the Islamic tradition, Friday is known as Jumu'ah, a day for communal prayers and gatherings. Many people look forward to Friday as a time to relax, socialize, and enjoy leisure activities after a busy week.
