Hungarians Celebrate A Name Day

Hungarians not only celebrate a birthday but also they have an offical name day. Birthdays are usually celebrated with only the immediate family. In the Hungarian culture, name days are widely known and celebrated among friends, family and at work. In the past years the Hungarians had to chose from a list of official names when naming their new born. Today while visiting with my friend Marta, her little daughter informed me that today was her Mother's name day. The photo was made a couple weeks ago when Marta brought me this beautiful bouquet of flowers!
