Happy St. Jordi for everybody!!
Apr. 23rd, 2007 09:30 pmOh! Today is St. Jordi, ok, I know here in UK is St. George, but like a good catalonian girl that I am, for me is St. Jordi. The day of the lovers in Catalonia (Catalunya), and friends, family, etc.
You have to buy a red rose (like the one that's grown up from the blood of the dragon killed by St. Jordi -who was a knight before being a saint^^-) and a book for the ones you love.
The tradition was to buy the rose for the women, and a book for men. So if you were on a relationship, you had to buy a book and in exchange you received a rose.
But nowadays, being the International Day of Books, we all have books, and women (and some men too, why not?^^) has also a red rose^^.
I love this day, it's a lovely tradition, and Barcelona is always full of roses, street shops' of books, and "senyeres". I miss it...
And I wanted to buy myself a rose, but I forgot, and now is late and I'm lazy XDDD So I will have a virtual rose, for me and for everybody.
Que passeu un bon St. Jordi!

Pues eso, que feliz día del libro, día de St Jordi y espero que tu primer día de trabajo se te diese bien (se que esta es tu cuenta friki, pero como has puesto la rosa...pues te lo cuento todo en un comentario, no??)
Abracil!!!
