Nathan's Swedish Name day

Nathan Page as Jack Robinson in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

In the Swedish calendar almost all days have at least one name which celebrate its so called Name Day. Apparently this is a Greek-Orthodox and Roman-Catholic tradition going back to their tradition with Saint's days. Why it is left in Sweden which has been a protestant country since the 16th century, I have no idea.

Anyway, today the calendar says Natanael, which is a Swedish version of the name Nathan and of course I was thinking about Nathan Page who plays Jack Robinson in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. So I wanted to celebrate him with this post.

Apparently the name is Hebrew and means Gift from God.
