November 12
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Saint Christian.
A Polish monk of the 11th century, part of the Camaldolese community in Poland. He gave his life by refusing to flee from bandits who massacred his companions. His final act was to stay with his brothers rather than save himself alone.
What stays with us: One can choose not to abandon those one loves, even when individual survival is possible. It is a form of courage that requires no faith, only loyalty.

Yes, it is quite frequent, especially among the 80s and 90s generations.
Cris-tian, with the silent ‘h’, of course, because in Argentina we don’t say ‘h’ even for hell.
