Saturday is the day for Our Lady. One Saturday a month is the First Saturday devotion for her, and the current Roman Missal encourages priests to celebrate the Mass commemorating the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday.
Jesus’ day is usually Friday because of First Friday once a month and because of commemorating the Crucifixion on that day.
There used to be other days in the week that were especially for particular votive Masses. The Cross was on Friday, the Angels were on Thursday, and the Holy Spirit was Wednesday. To my knowledge that was done away with before Vatican II and now you can have a Mass of the Holy Spirit on any weekday as long as it doesn’t conflict with some other feast. One of the local priests likes to have Mass of the Holy Spirit so he had one on a weekday a couple weeks ago.
There have also been a couple of private revelations, one approved for faith expression and the other approved by the local bishop, in which St. Joseph is said to have appeared and asked for a First Wednesday devotion. Although this hasn’t caught on in USA yet, I was considering doing it because I generally go to Mass anyway and I think it’s very important to pray to St. Joseph.

Christian Week
Sunday, The Lord’s Day: He is risen as He promised.
Monday: Hours of the Holy Spirit
Tuesday: Hours of Our Dearly Departed.
Wednesday: Hours of All Saints
Thursday: Hours of the Blessed Sacrament
Friday: Hours of the Cross
Saturday: Hours of the Virgin Mary
Hours
Matins: The Word Made Flesh
Morning Prayer (Lauds): Baptism of Jesus
Noon day: Jesus’s Public Ministry
Evening Prayer (Vespers): Jesus’s Passion & Death
Night Prayer: Jesus Rises from the Dead.
Saturday is traditionally dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was a day of mourning after the crucifixion of her Son and before His resurrection.
Many parishes, such as the one to which I belonged to overseas will have a novena to St. Anthony of Padua on Tuesdays. The Novena to Our Lady of Good Succor was held on Wednesdays. There was a Holy Hour every First Friday of the month.
