I also like the co\hoice of purple for Sunday, the Christian holy day and I
like green for the Moslem holy day.  But I think blue should be Saturday,
the Jewish holy day.  And isn't Monday special to the budhists?  So maybe
monday should be orange or yellow.  Any religion have Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday as a holy day?
