January
January is named after the Roman god, Janus, the god with two faces, to Cicero the god of beginnings and transitions (looks back to the old and forward to the new?).

​Sunday
Sunday comes from the Latin, dies solis, day of the Sun. Helios is the Sun god, and the Roman equivalent of Helios is Sol. Sol is the origin of Sunday, or Sol-day.

Sol
Sol is a measurement of time in outer space. It is the passing of the Sun twice at the same meridian on Mars and is a little longer than one Earth day.

Calendar

Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar in 1582 by losing 10 days to compensate for a miscalculation during Julius Caesar’s reign. This fixed the calendar.
