St. Patrick Day

Patrick

St. Patrick Day, ( March 17) is a national holidays in Ireland. Usually St. Patrick falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish Families traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.


Here in our house we also celebrated the St. Patrick´s Day. One of my twins has his name, which means he has a Name day ( in Slovenia they called it GỞD). Here in Slovenia is a tradition that giving a name to the person base on the Christian Calendar. Everybody they have their own name day or Saint, usually the name day fall one day before your birthday. It means people here in Slovenia celebrated their birthday twice Name day and Bday.


Maybe your wondering why my son has a different name. Actually both of them have an Irish name even Joshua my eldest twins. I hate the slovenian names but not all. Names here are too short and very difficult to pronounced maybe because they have a different letters and accent.
