I'm surpresed to see this . I tell this because in Romania this is days is celebrated for dead Maria...
well, this is not the case.
I wish her thet best... She deserves it !
Btw, Lagoudaki,

I want to talk to you (sorry, I pushed enter for mistake, Like I said :"I'm irezistible at mistakes")
Kisses girlz .

Soso, let's explain people the significance of this day in Romania.

Nowadays in Romania everybody with the name Maria and all its derivations(feminine or masculine) are celebrating their name day today.

True that the religious signification refers to the death of Agia Maria and true that in some parts of the country today there are remembered the dead ones who had this name, but nowadays, on 15th of August everybody with this name celebrates.

We should also say that we have another Agia Maria's day and that is on 8th of September and, indeed, traditionally that was the day when the alive ones were celebrating their name's day.

But these days, people with this name just celebrate twice- once today, and again in September. Lucky them!

And for Maria mas: get well soon and come back here cause I translated a song a few days ago and I need checking! And we miss you

Ah! In Greece on 15th of August all the married Marias celebrate and on 21th of August the single ones. But today is the biggest celebration so we tell our wishes to all of them!

Really? I didn't know that! Thank you for the information, Lagoudaki

It's the same religion but there are things different in each country adn I'm always glad to find out about the differences

In Romania too, today is the biggest celebration of the two holidays. Actually, people call today's holiday, and I'm gonna say it in Greek because in English it would sound really strange: "Agia Maria Megali" and on 8th of September we call it "Agia Maria Micri". These are not the official religious names, they are names given by people, probably to "rank" the two days in importance.

Oops I said 21 of August! What an idiot. It's 21 of November! Then we celebrate the entrance of Virgin Mary to the church.

Hehe,how interesting indeed...Here we have only today and it's really a big celebration and everyone with that name celebratedLike my mum,so I love this day and everyone with that name

Hronia polla Maria kai kalh anarrosh! Filia Veronika hronia polla to your mum too!

Hehe,ευχαριστωI just found out u r from Athens,which I want to visit sooo muchU r lucky

My pleasure! Haha, yes Athens is wonderful. Come to us, you'll never leave...

Oh,I'm sure I won't...I will come to Athens for sure I've deceited that for me,just don't know when

Thank you girls and Soso! You are the best. I'm still sick, but I feel better now.

Filia se olous
