Happy Name Day to all who celebrate St. Andrew!
November 30: SAINT ANDREW – the First Called…
Celebrating someone’s Name Day it is an old European tradition; for centuries,
all across the continent people have been celebrating their first names pretty
much in the same way as we celebrate birthdays on this part of the world (over there, usually birthdays are celebrated mostly with the immediate family, but the name days are widely known and celebrated in larger circles).
Generally speaking, each first name is assigned to one day of the calendar, based on different spiritual traditions, or specific historical events, or in relation with other facts.
Just imagine how pleasant it is to meet every year with dear friends for a joyful time, when nobody wonders how old you are?! In effect, it is like having a second birthday.
