Happy name day Gina.

What is name day?

Thanks pixipixil!
According to the Greek Orthodox Church, every day of the year is dedicated to the memory of at least one (usually more than one) saint or martyr. If someone is named after a saint, then there is a big celebration on his or her name day.
I was named after St. George.Saint George's Day is celebrated on 23 April, but this year this was on Lazarus Saturday (therefore it is celebrated on the first Monday after Easter Sunday - May 2nd).

Happy Name Day!

Happy name day, Gina....also thanks for the info. I was not familiar with name day.

Thank you all! CatLadyOKC I am used to explain, because I studied abroad. We have the custom to give chocolates or pastries on our name day to all friends and relatives we meet on that day, and all my non-Greek friends asked "what is name day? "

Thanks Gina!!!

With you on that last comment. Between health issues, financial issues and other considerations most paths seem blocked which kind of takes away enough possibilities to drain away excitement.

Aw shucks I stay in financial woos, but pretty health for an old lady

"Knot things out? " I'm not familiar with that phrase.

Think things through in my mind, amazing how much work and time I save in doing that. Hugs.

"Knot things out"--like making a fishnet, it all has to hang together before you start, if you're going to get anywhere!

That was really clever ParsonWayne!!
