Today is my name day(we Orthodox Christians have such days). Guys give me your best wishes.
My best wishes.
name day? Can you explain a bit more John, you will be getting a new name something ? :)
Thank you! :P
It's a tradition in some Orthodox countries for people who are named after a saint(in my case saint John - or the greek equivalent). Each saint has a day dedicated to him(some are more prevalent than others) so on that day people of the same name have their name days. All Johns here(translated to greek ofc, there are no actual Johns) have their name days on January 7. Nowadays it's kinda like a second birthday in terms of celebration. People give you their wishes, you might get gifts, maybe treat your friends to dinner or coffee etc.
Cool custom. So you will still remain John ya ? :)
Yeah, that'll always be my international name. FYI, in greek people call me Yanni. :)
I really like this name very much 'Yanni'.
Anways, have a great day today John :)
