Welcome to Gaia! ::

Today (June 24th) is Jussi's name day ^_^ if you don't know what name days are, they are a tradition, found in various Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries, of attaching personal names to each day of the year, and celebrating the association of particular days with those for whom that day is named. The tradition is also very widely practiced in the Nordic countries, especially in Sweden and Finland. For example, in Finland June 24th has the name Jussi (among others) and the people with these names celebrate with celebrations similar to birthday parties. You can purchase name day cards and such from shops as well.
