Similarly we describe a certain hereditary disorder as "St. Vitus's Dance" which is neither caused by "St. Vitus" nor "dancing", but in using the language of the day we call it "St. Vitus's Dance". It is evident that Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th; yet the present writer still uses the term 'Christmas day' when speaking of that day, although I do not believe that we should keep that day as a celebration of Christ's birth. The names of the days of the week are based upon pagan idol worship - e.g. 'Sunday' means 'the day devoted to worshipping the sun'; 'Saturday' was the day upon which the planet Saturn was to be worshipped, Monday for the moon, etc. To use these names does not mean that we share the pagan beliefs of those who originally coined our present language.
Ni dhahiri kwamba Yesu hakuzaliwa tarehe 25 Desemba; lakini mwandishi wa sasa bado anatumia neno'Siku ya Krismasi’ inaposemwa siku hiyo, ingawa siamini kwamba tusherehekee siku ya kuzaliwa Kristo. Majina ya siku za juma yamewekwa juu ya kuabudu sanamu ya kipagani - k.m.'Jumapili’ maana yake'siku iliyotolewa kuabudu jua’; 'Jumamosi’ ilikuwa ni siku ambayo sayari ya Saturn ya sita toka kwenye jua ilikuwa iabudiwe, Jumatatu kwa ajili ya mwezi n.k. Kutumia majina haya haina maana kwamba tunashiriki katika imani za kipagani za hao wa kwanza kuvumbua misemo yetu ya sasa.
