The six-day week: what happens on each day
Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Pride and Wrath - one weekly event each, repeating every six days.
A week in Graveyard Keeper 2 has six days, each named after a sin and drawn as a glyph on the wheel in the top-left corner of the screen. Each of the big weekly events is tied to one day: battles, the merchant ship, the storm that powers zombie resurrection, town orders and Mass. An event that does not happen on its day next comes round six days later.

The wheel starts mostly empty; each glyph is added by a story step. Quests add Gluttony during Congregation Trouble, Sloth during First... Sludge?, Pride during Workshop Hours and Wrath during Holy Moly!. Until then that slot on the wheel stays empty.
What each day does
Gluttony is the only day the PR Machine accepts a load. A load of Charged hypno-devices and Newspapers raises the zombie limit for 1 to 5 weeks, depending on the program. The machine appears after Congregation Trouble.

Town battles can only be started on Sloth: the battle opens at the start of the day and locks again at its end. The Town's bell rings every Sloth morning, and the zombies withdraw to the centre of the Town.

Once a week, on Lust, a merchant ship docks at the Port. The Trademaster on the Main Pier gets new exotic goods, Linda brings in new townsfolk when she has been given advertising, and she takes the Green Scrolls the Town's houses produce, raising citizen reputation and the happiness limit. At the very end of Lust the Resurrection Lab's power is restored for Envy.

Every Envy a lightning storm strikes the tower and powers the Resurrection Lab for the day. That is the only time the Resurrection Device works. The Goddess of Nature also leaves blue crystals near her statue after every Envy - the crystal every zombie collar needs.

Calendar questions
What happens to an event when its day passes?
It waits a full week. The Resurrection Lab reports that there is not enough power until the next Envy, the battle planner states that battles are available on Sloth, and the Church states that the ceremony is available on Wrath.
What resets on Pride?
The weekly cap on the happiness each trader gives for special goods. Pride is also the only day town orders can be accepted.
When can zombies be resurrected?
Only on Envy, when the storm powers the Resurrection Lab. The power is restored at the very end of Lust.
