Without turning this into a religious discussion (oh no mr bill!!!), I
believe it stems from Pagan tradition.  For Pagans, the 'day' begins at
dusk and runs to the following dusk.  Though Cristianity had ostensibly
been the major religion of the middle ages (in Europe), my studies lead me
to believe that this was for public display.  The average serf, and many of
the nobility as well, were Christian in church, but still pagan in belief.
