Quote★★★
In the days of the very long ago the people of the world began to give names to everything and they turned sounds of the lips into words, so that the lips could speak a thought. In those days, the people worshipped the sun because it was kind and gave them heat and light. By and by, after many words were made to tell of many thoughts about many things the people became Christians and were ruled by an emperor whose name was Constantine. This emperor made Sunday the Christian Sabbath, because of the blessings of light and heat which came from the sun. So our Sunday is sun-day, is it not?

The point
The history of 'Sunday' as 'sun-day' reflects ancient sun worship and Constantine's later Christian reinterpretation.
