    There are hints that pre-Christian Slavs had 5-days week, as the 5 finger hand, but don't ask me about sources, I just heard it as an hypothesis from scholars who write articles about Slavic issues.

    All Slavic languages have similar naming for the day of the week.

    Sunday – Nedelia – (Ne-delia – Literally 'not doing anything' or rest day)
    Poniadzelak – Monday – the day after 'niadzelia' (sunday)
    Utorak – Tuesday – second day of the week
    Serada – Wednesday – middle of the week
    Thursday – Chacver – fourth day of the week
    Friday – P'yatnica – fifth day of the week.
    ---
    Sobota – Sutarday is a loanword in every Slavic language.

    Maybe niadzelia - the day of rest - came with Christianity too. But then poniadzelak (monday) is derived from 'niadzelia' (sunday)

    I don't think so. Niedziela - rest day/ Sunday was dedicated in pre-Christian times to Slavic Sun God - Svarożic. Till now there is a tradition of Poles to eat broth on Sunday (rooster was an animal which was dedicted as an offer to Sun God/Svarożyc)

    Terça-Feira - Third Fair
    Quarta-Feira - Fourth Fair
    Quinta-Feira - Fifth Fair
    Sexta-Feira - Sixt Fair

    The responsible is actually an hungarian missionary from the 6th century who made his way here. He thought unworthy to use latin pagan names for the week days.
    in Sardinian (Logudoresu) they are quite Latin-like

    Saturday = Sàppadu
    Sunday = Dominiga, Dominica
    Monday = Lùnis
    Tuesday = Màrtis
    Wednesday = Mèrcuris
    Thursday = Jòia, Jòvia
    Friday = Chenàpura, Chenàbura

    the name for Friday is very particular, I think it's present only in Sardinian, it comes from Latin "Coena Pura" that was the name given by Hebrews and first Christians to the Friday dinner before the Shabbat holiday

    they are quite similar also in Corsican language

    Sàbbatu
    Dumènica, Duminica
    Luni
    Marti
    Mercuri, Marcuri
    Ghjovi
    Vènneri, Vènnari
