Ola Pessoas!
I just realized that in Portugal you don't celebrate namedays!!!!!
CRAZYYYY
The whole MC thought basically this: "omfg...wtf.." But haha....now they LOVE the concept.
So I just introduce it to YOU:
In the calendar every day is associated with one or more first name (based on the Christian saints - but now its not connected anymore) and on that day we celebrate that name, so every person who has that name!
I have collected some materials as well, just to believe!! We celebrate it almost in whole Europe!
The Americans also tried to copy! http://www.mynameday.com/
I would like to share you some thoughts.
We in the MC decided to celebrate namedays from now on! (actually we didn't but my nameday is approaching :P so I hope they don't mind :D) We also selected the corresponding Hungarian names!
Ana Rita -- Rita, 22nd of May
Carolina -- Karolina, 2nd of February
Catarina -- Katalin, 30th of April or 25th of November (yes we have more :D)
Constanca -- Konstantina, 19th of September
André -- András, 30th of November
Félix -- András (but actually we have a name Félix :P), 30th of November or 9th of June
Péter -- Péter, 29th of June
So as you can see my nameday is rapidly approaching!!! Of course you need information how to prepare:
"Name days (in Hungarian: névnap) in Hungary are very popular, often as much as a person's actual birthday"
"A bottle of alcohol is a common gift for men on their name day" ;) (I hope you get that hint, *khmm lot of beer*)
(Honestly nameday is not almost as important as birthday, but we DO celebrate it and get presents, cakes etc.. as well!)
So, see you at 29th of June ;)
Waiting for YOUR comments!
beijinhos,
Tutti Frutti MC Love
I was away for a few days and when I came back we have a blog with HEARTS!!! and now we have name days! Ahaha
ReplyDeleteGuys, is there anything else I should know about? xD
Insane! Konstantina...ahahahah hilarious!
ReplyDeletePeti, now I know what to give you on your nameday(NO, it's not alcohol)! A book with the portuguese namedays. Yes, I actually have that at home! ahah
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love how Constança translates to Hungarian! From now on we should refer her as Konstantina,the Great. Just saying...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great)
ReplyDeleteSo cool heheh. In Croatia they also celebrate it, but I'm not so sure about that gift story heheh
ReplyDeleteAhahah Mariana always tends to be soooo funny!!! Do we really have a portuguese namedays book?!
ReplyDelete"In the calendar every day is associated with one or more first name (based on the Christian saints - but now its not connected anymore)"
ReplyDeleteThe book has a name of a saint per day. I figured we can addapt it as they did, and use it as a start ;)
There's nothing I can't get! ahah
