ST. MONDAY

Domain	Definition
Literature	St. Monday A holiday observed by journeyman shoemakers and other inferior mechanics, and well-to-do merchants. In the Journal of the Folk-lore Society, vol. i. p. 245, we read that, "While Cromwell's army lay encamped at Perth, one of his zealous partisans, named Monday, died, and Cromwell offered a reward for the best lines on his death. A shoemaker of Perth brought the following, which so pleased Cromwell that he not only gave the promised reward, but made also a decree that shoemakers should be allowed to make Monday a standing holiday. "Blessed be the Sabbath Day, And cursed be worldly pelf: Tuesday will begin the week, Since Monday's hanged himself." Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
