Beginning at midnight it wil be March 1, which is St. DavidrCOs Day, my
name day, which is often celebrated by people in Europe though less
so here in North America. For example my Ph.D. supervisor is from
Poland and named Michael and often has parties on St. MichaelrCOs
Day, September 29.
As a double whammy, this year March 1 is also Namesake Day,
which, from Google AI Overview, is celebrated on March 1st (or the
first Sunday of March), and kicks off International Celebrate Your
Name Week to honor the origin and meaning of your name. It
encourages exploring who you were named after, researching
your family history, and embracing your personal identity. It often
focuses on connecting with others who share your name.
My parents were devout Catholics, and there is no other David in
recent family history, so they probably named me after St. David.
But St. David was probably named after David of the Old
Testament, so I guess I am descended in name lineage from
David of the Old Testament.
Anyway, I am hoping for peace in the Middle East beginning on
March 1, during this Waxing Haida/Beothuk Clamshell Moon.
And right now it is midnight at the beginning of March 1 in Tehran.
