My Name Day

Well, It's my name day today. For the majority of people out there who have no idea what I'm talking about... It all started at the beginning of Christianity when martyrs died believing in the teachings of Jesus. One of those martyrs was a person named Michael - Archangel Michael - to be exact. So, the name Michael is celabrated in the Greek Orthodox faith. Normally what happens is everyone comes over to your house and you have a big party in your honour. However this is rare outside Greece and only reserved for respected elders. In Greece however there's always a party.
