"Sun's Day" or "Sunnadagr" as it
is known in Old Norse is Sunday and represents vitality, self-
expression, pride, creativity, and life.
In Southern Europe the Moon is usually considered to be feminine
and the Sun masculine. In
Scandinavia, England and North Germany, the Moon is usually considered to be masculine while
the Sun is feminine.
In the Germanic tradition, the Goddess is known as Sunna. The
Norwegians called her Sol while in
Scandinavia she was also known as Glory-of-Elves, the Goddess who would give birth to a
daughter after doomsday, thus producing the new sun of the next creation. The Eddas said: "One
beaming daughter the bright Sun bears before she is swallowed by Fenrir; so shall the maid pace
her mother's way when the gods have gone to their doom." (Walker)
