This has religious reasons, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week#Systems_derived_from_the_seven-day_week.
Notable exception to the rule that Sunday is the first day of the week
in europe is Italy, they consider Monday the first day of the week.
As far as I know, monday is generally considered the first day of the
week here in Belgium. I never knew it was different in other European
countries; I thought it was America that starts the week on sunday. Was
I wrong then?
