Re: [tied] some terms for George ( it was Re: Historical ...)

Hram is the annual celebration of the patron saint of an orthodox church as St George on April 23 or St. Mary on August 15. The name hram might derives from heram, an ancient festival and a banquet celebrated in Samos in honour of the goddess Hera. The Thracians used to offer to their gods and ancestors huge lavish public feasts. The word zestre, meaning dowry is one of the 165 Romanian common words currently accepted as Thracian.
