we approach San Juan, tomorrow, want to discuss an event that occurs in Mallorca and, to my knowledge does not occur elsewhere. I've commented several times with different friends of the peninsula and missed them very much, saying that in his region it is unusual. The issue is that in Mallorca over the saint is celebrated the birthday person. I think it has to do with the idiosyncrasies of the Mallorcan, how we and our way of relating.
What he said in Mallorca is celebrated saint of the person, but also marks a very rare because the person doing the saint never "invited" anyone, are the friends who are invited. As the birthday a very specific date only know the person in question and that rarely a Spaniard will tell you the date of his birthday because if you say it and then you forget about it would be a "great" offense. To avoid this does not usually say your birthday or it's usually held or whether they invite you for another reason or are friends who will ride the party. But, on the contrary, the saint's day a person is well known. In part due to the calendars, most of which are given at the beginning of the year carry the saint's day, and in part because we are very original Mallorcan when naming. Cupcakes are not few, Catalinas, Juanes or Antonios know, innumerable.
So the person in question does not invite anyone but all the "known" are invited to "go to congratulate" the person in question or alternatively call and congratulate him. Of course, if you're going to congratulate a friend quite sure that this will have bought something for people who might pass by his house. Do not know if anyone will come see you, but on that day have something in the fridge if it appears that one always does, a friend who celebrate the day of your saint.
I'll always keep in memory which sat at my grandfather, when he was alive, on his birthday. Family, friends and neighbors passing by more than 60 people. The birthday
invite you, and may be by compromise. In the holy are you who you invite, and sure you know whether you welcome or not.
- A toast to us - For us
