Thoughts about name days
Today is an important date for the orthodox christians, as they celebrate the Dormition of the Theotokos, which is simply the death of Virgin Mary.
But why am I talking about that right now? Well, my name is -let's say- inspired by Madonna and so today it is my name day.
To be honest, name days are not so significant in a person's life as his or her birthday. However, today is a different case, because in Greece the whole family is usually gathered in order to celebrate Mary's going to heaven.
And this is what my family and I did today. We sat all together at the same table after a long time, since we live in different parts of Greece, and we had a blast. We caught up with everybody's life and we laughed a lot. Of course, there was a huge amount of food and drink that were being consummed during lunch.
Now you might be wondering why would I think that all that are things that you are interested in. Well, throught all these descriptions I wanted to encourage you to gather all your family members or all your friends and have lunch together or have a barbeque. This will bring you closer and you'll have the time of your life.
Sometimes sharing something so common or minor as food can make a huge difference in someone's life. Especially, if you all contribute to the process of cooking the food, it will make the whole experience even greater. Having all or even some of your favorite faces around one table is enough for making wonderful memories.
Today I was lucky and it was my name day. You shouldn't wait for special days, like birthdays and anniversaries. Gather your favorite people even if there is no reason for a party. Just the fact that you have each other is a good reason for celebrating.
