"Forget Me Not" Day

When is it?
Always November 10th
"Forget-Me-Not" Day is a day to remember family, friends and dear ones.
Lets use this day to get in touch with family, friends and loved ones, especially those who we haven't seen in a while. You don't want them to forget you, do you??

(In the 15th century in Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers.
Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour, he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not". This is a flower connected with romance and tragic fate. It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.
It is also told in pious legend that the Christ Child
was sitting on Mary's lap one day and said that he wished that future generations could see her eyes. He touched her eyes and then waved his hand over the ground and blue forget-me-nots appeared, hence the name forget-me-not.

Não conhecia a existência deste dia. No dia 10 não esquecerei ninguém e particularmente de ti que me lembrastes a existência deste dia.

Manda um pequeno texto para pôr no blogue,ou seja o que editates, mas cá na lingua de Camões.
abraço
