==Cultural references== In the [[Greeks|Greek]] world, Tuesday (the day of the week of the [[Fall of Constantinople]]) is considered an unlucky day.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.economist.com/europe/1999/12/23/the-fall-of-constantinople |title=The fall of Constantinople |author=<!--uncredited--> |date=23 December 1999 |newspaper=The Economist |access-date=January 27, 2019}}</ref> The same is true in the [[Spanish language|Spanish]]-speaking world; it is believed that this is due to the association between Tuesday and Mars, the god of war and therefore related to death.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://elpais.com/sociedad/2008/05/13/actualidad/1210629603_850215.html|title=Reportaje {{!}} Marte cena con los apóstoles|last=MARTÍNEZ|first=HELENA|date=2008-05-13|work=El País|access-date=2018-07-18|language=es|issn=1134-6582}}</ref> For both Greeks and Spanish-speakers, the 13th of the month is considered unlucky if it falls on Tuesday, instead of [[Friday the 13th|Friday]]. In [[Judaism]], on the other hand, Tuesday is considered a particularly lucky day, because in [[Bereshit (parashah)]], known in the Christian tradition as the first chapters of [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8165/jewish/Chapter-1.htm|title=Bereshit – Genesis – Chapter 1 (Parshah Bereshit) – Tanakh Online – Torah – Bible|accessdate=6 October 2023}}</ref> the paragraph about this day contains the phrase "it was good" twice.<ref>''Bereishi''t 1:9-13 (in the Christian tradition known as Genesis). Discussed in Marvin J. Heller, "Frankfurt on the Oder—First Edition: Background", in ''Printing the Talmud: Complete Editions, Tractates, and Other Works and the Associated Presses from the Mid-17th Century through the 18th Century'' (Leiden: Brill), 47-56.

In the folk rhyme ''[[Monday's Child]]'', "Tuesday's child is full of grace".
