Katkina mamina

It is very early in the morning and freezing cold in the bus station when i suddenly see a small girl staring at me couriously. She pulls her mother's hand and asks in a whisper:
-Kto je to? (Who is that?)
The mother whispers back into her ear but loud enough for me to hear:
-To je Katkina mamina. (That is Katka's mommny).
Aha, that's from were she know me, from the playground with Katka. Her face lightens, she smiles, she waves at me, shouts and tells me she is going to kindergarden. I wave back and smile. The other mother and me look at each other and smile.
Katkina mamina, how beautiful aand sweet it sounds, how my soul laughes with gladness every time i hear these words. I have been called many things in my life, beautiful things and ugly things, i have had many titles but never felt so good as when i was called Katkina mamina. It is a name i bear with pride.
There is no day, hour, minute, second in which i do not thank God that He send Katka into my life, and He made me Katkina mamina.

All Saint day in Slovakia (Dusicky)

Image
                                     Every year on November 1 all over the world the Catholics are celebrating All Saints Day. In Slovakia is is called Dusicky or "souls"and it is an official public holiday.  Since in Romania we are not celebrating it, I fell in love with this holiday as one of my favourites. It is a period when people all over the country are traveling to their hometown to visit the graves of their lost loved ones. The all saints atmosphere starts one week before the holiday. There are many lights in the cemetery, we can see people cleaning the graves and putting fresh flowers, the trains are full and in Bratislava the bus schedule is prolonged and more buses are added to acoomodate the big number of travellers. In front of the cemeteries there are many sellers with beautiful multicolored flowers and candles in many shapes and colors. Flowers and candle sellers in front of the cemetery On 1 November in the morning the believers are

Sv. Mária Magdaléna Rusovce, St. Mary-Magdalene in Rusovce, Bratislava

I will start the presentation of the Beautiful Churches with the church that for me is the most dearest and the most beautiful in the world. I am speaking about a small and cozy church in a peripheral neighborhood of Bratislava. It is the St. Mary-Magdalene Church in Rusovce. Here some of the most important events in my life took place: here my wedding took place, here i found faith again, here I converted to Catholicism and here my children will be baptized. The first time i came to this beautiful church was in the autumn of the year 2009. My future husband and I were going there to speak to the priest about planning our wedding. I discovered it hiding behind handsome and tall green trees, only the tower with the bell and the clock standing out on the blue sky. It was a typical small village Catholic Church, painted in a white and yellow and with a large wooden door.  The Church in summer The Church in winter However at that moment i was not able to see the beauty of

I love Bratislava

Image
This will be a very long article because Bratislava is the city i love most between all the cities in the world. It is here that i found happiness and love and it is here that i started to live a normal happy life. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and the main city, the economical, political, cultural center of the country. Here sits the president, the parliament and the government. When i came to Bratislava I was surprised to find a very beautiful clean city full of old Castles, palaces, theaters, old buildings, high churches but also new interesting and modern buildings. The old and new mingle peacefully and the old buildings are beautifully preserved. Bratislava is in my opinion as beautiful and interesting like any other well-know touristic location: like Vienna or Prague but smaller and with less people. Being accustomed with the madness, crowd and rush of Bucharest, with it's full buses and horrible smelling metros i found Bratislava to be peaceful. It took me a whil
