Hi Ani,
I love October ... if for nothing other, then - for being born in it.
I didn`t know that your church has Gregorian calender. Seems my Serbian Orthodox and Russian Orthodox church are only two churches that live 2 weeks behind (based on Julian calender).
We celebrate St. Parascheva (who was born as a Serbian) on October 27th, St. Luka on October 31st and St. Dimitrios on November 8th, St.Georgios on Nov 16, and St. Archangel Michael on Nov.21st.
These are big celebrations here. Each family has it`s patron ... and whole Serbia sings and celebrates almost each day.
I am not too crazy for those customs, but here I live :) ..
Thanks for this great tribute to most amazing month a year, October.
Hugs and blessings!
Branka
