For my family it is the celebration of another great mother, my Mum’s birthday. It is Macedonian tradition to name your children after the religious day that they were born on. But instead of Mary, my Mother was named Vera, which means “Faith” in Macedonian. And that’s exactly what she left us with. Faith that she will always be in our hearts, faith that I will love and teach my child unconditional love as she did me. Faith that she will always be looking down on us from heaven above, just like Mother Mary.
Happy Birthday Mum.
May Mother Mary bring Peace,
happiness, good health, love & success to all homes.
Amen
Нека донеси мир, добро здравје, лјубов, срекја и успек во сите домови. Напомош денот.
