Tuesday is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. The English language and Scandinavian names are derived from the Norse mythology god Tyr (in Old English, ''Tiw'', ''Tew'' or ''Tiu''. In Swedish language, ''Tisdag'', Danish language: ''Tirsdag'', Finnish language: ''Tiistai''). Religious Society of Friends traditionally refer to Tuesday as "Third Day" eschewing the "Paganism" origin of the English name "Tuesday". Shrove Tuesday (also called Mardi Gras - ''fat Tuesday'') precedes the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar. Tuesday is the usual day for elections in the United States. Federal elections take place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November; this date was established by a law of 1845 for U.S. presidential election (specifically for the selection of the U.S. Electoral College), and was extended to elections for the United States House of Representatives in 1875 and for the United States Senate in 1914. Tuesday was the earliest day of the week which was practical for polling in the early 19th century: citizens might have to travel for a whole day to cast their vote, and would not wish to leave on Sunday which was a day of worship for the great majority of them. Many American states hold their presidential primary elections on "Super Tuesday". Black Tuesday, in the United States, refers to October 29, 1929, the start of the great stock market panic of 1929. This was the Tuesday after Black Thursday, which marked the start of the Great Depression. In the Greek world, Tuesday (the day of the week of the Fall of Constantinople) is considered an unlucky day. The same is true in the Spanish language-speaking world, where a proverb runs ''En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques'' (On Tuesday, neither get married nor begin a journey). ==External links== * [http://www.indepthinfo.com/weekdays/tuesday.shtml Where Tuesday Got Its Name] Tuesday Weeks ang:Twesdg cv:Ытларикун als:Dienstag fo:Tsdagur ga:Mirt hi:मंगलवार kw:Dy' Meurth la:Dies Martis ms:Selasa nds:Dingsdag vi:Thứ ba tpi:Tunde
