VeraMaria Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 When you're scared or surprised by something you call on the Holy Family "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph" I go "Jesus, Maria, Jose!" :D

Norseman82 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 You remember people's birthdays by associating them with a feast. In all seriousness, there used to be a tradition to name your child after the feast day on or near which he or she was baptized (at least my grandmother did so with some of her children), especially since you had the child baptized within a few days after birth "back in the old days". Example: my dad was named Casimer, his birthday was February 27, and St. Casimir's feast day is March 4. His brother Stanley's birthday is April 4, and St. Stanislaus' feast day is April 11.
M.SIGGA Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I don't know if this one is mentioned, but for me personally: your childhood friends knew better than to sleep over at your house on a Saturday night because they couldn't sleep late and had to bring clothes for mass in the morning :D
cmotherofpirl Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Your children get two parties every year: one for their birthday, one for their feastday. Your household runs on Church time eve to eve.
