Dominique, this is awesome. I connected venerable to Venus but didn't realize that Friday was Venus's day. Let me add one more fascinating connection. The Nordic/Germanic goddess of married love Frigga was the divine counterpart of the Roman goddess of love Venus. Since English weekdays honor that pantheon, Venerdì became Frigga's Day... Friday!
