Greetings Steemit People!

So Funny story ...My Name Is Stefan Dragos Alexandru and I am from Romania.

In 1988 APRIL 6th I was born , after a short period of time my parents took me to the church to get baptized by a priest.
The priest was at a sort of a conference with many church leaders at that time and so my parents open the bible (as per custom -lipoveni -orthodox old rite) and calculated my year, day and hour that I was born and put 3 names from Romanian history:

Stefan cel Mare

Stefan cel Mare (Stephan the Great) and Saint, (sanctified by the Church) was the lord of Moldavia between 1457 and 1504. He was the son of Bogdan II, reigning for 47 years, the longest reign of medieval times in the Romanian Lands.

Dragos Voda

This is a painting of Dragos Voda by Vasilescu O.

The chronicles say that the Romanian Voivod (Ruler) Dragoş, when hunting and a aurochs, passed from Maramureş to Moldavia's water and liked the place, sat there and populated the country with the Romanians from Maramures.

Alexandru cel Bun

He was the lord from 1400 to 1432 of Moldavia.

Now my parents (well my mom and grandparents actually because my father was out of the picture) went and made a birth certificate for Stefan Dragos Alexandru.
Then they took me to the priest that just returned from the conference to baptize me....well here things got complicated....because the priest said the calculation was wrong....
He took the book and calculated again and gain and...again and found the same result:

Ipati

The Story of Ipathias of Gangra

At one time his enemies wanted to kill him and trow rocks at him and shoved their swords into him all for him to fall from a cliff and die.
So the saint fell half dead in the water that passed through that gulf, after waking up in pain, raising his eyes to heaven, said, "Lord, do not count their sin."
When he was praying to God a woman came with a rock and repeatedly smash his head until there where only pieces.
After she killed him the story tells us that she was possessed by the Devil and she repeatedly hit her chest with the rock until the rock was a a part of her chest.

AND SO...The Priest Baptized me Ipati

Now I can say that I am very lucky actually because I can celebrate my birthday 2 times :
One on 6 april and the other on 13 of april .

So on friday the 13th was my Name Day Hooray!!!

On this day I woke up (WOKE level 3) and made my breakfast and took a slice of cake . After that I took my shovel and done some gardening.

I took my sports camera myria 4k and for the lolz I put it on my shovel ...I was thinking:

Hey they mount these cameras on head, arm, leg, dashboard so why not a shovel?

Similar product for a very cheap price:

With me was my little helper Bobiță!

I was very happy that the seed took root and almost all of them recovered from the powerful winter storms that we had:

Thank you @alex1923!

@cynetyc, That's pretty awesome gardening indeed amazing historical story. I like much those story. Gardening seems more growing faster. Big support doggy there.

Wooow great story You have great writing skills @cynetyc Hope you wrote books because you writing some thing intresting so if you wrote any book plase tell me its name thanks

The story is so wonderful, expressive and nice and make me really smile
Well you are a wonderful person
But what your dog belle is playing back with you

Really roselover,@cynetyc are a greet person

i think
It is probably the juxtaposition of ‘unlucky Friday’ and ‘unlucky 13’ that has made much of Western civilisation so nervous on that particular day.
We get at least one Friday 13th every year, and often two.

garden is also awesome looking

Thank you very much @masterlegend and I feel the same way about the day and number 13 as it has always brought me luck.

The story is very interesting. :) I like to your story read. The idea of ​​combining the camera with a shovel is great. This Action Camera gives good results. Congratulations @cynetyc and Happy birthday to you

many history behind it

Friday the 13th – considered to be one of the unluckiest days of the year, with many Britons fearing what the day entails.

From walking under ladders to finding a lone magpie, we Britons are aware of several eerie superstitions and in recent years Friday the 13th has become a superstition in itself.

The supposedly unlucky date will occur once more this year, in July – but why is the day thought to bring bad luck and what has led to the increase in paranoia?

by the way photos are looking awesome

I read a lot about the 13 day period and the number itself.
Many from my country as well fear this number but for me this number was with me many times:

  • On the airplane my seat was 13d or 13 E or 13 F mostly anytime
  • 13 april is my name Day
  • Erasmus contest I was selected with the number 13
  • My cars plate number is 13
  • Often when we dock with the ship (in port ) the berth number would be 13

And many many more...

For me it brought me luck and happiness .

oh no,,,great photos
@cynetic

by your post
my personal opinion

Superstition has it that to bring May blossom into the house invites illness and death into the house too. So maybe a Friday 13 in May is seriously bad fortune? Hawthorn has so much folklore surrounding it that I could fill a book. The flowers are said to smell sweetly – or of death and decay.

Hawthorn is also a medicinal plant, good for improving heart conditions and reducing depression. It has sharp thorns and edible berries and has been a favourite hedging plant in Britain for hundreds of years because of it great usefulness at all times of the year, so it does seem strange that it’s also classed as ‘unlucky’.

Perhaps that stems from someone years ago taking a spray of May blossom into the house on Friday 13th and then a family member took ill and died.

I did not know about this plant but I do know about many other plants that have a negative effect if you put them in the house more specific in the bedroom.
Thank you for this information I will certainly read more about it.

Wow..... Earthworm,i can't remember the last I saw these. That was when I was a kid and then my dad used to have a garden and when we go play there, we dig up earthworms. Nice seeing these little creatures again and there are really beautiful and harmless, it's been ages since last I saw one. There really play great role in one's farm and in the soil. Great post and photography @cynetyc

You are right @moniristi !
They eat the earth and excrete humus witch is very good for planting seeds.
Some people from my country even have farms witch cultivate this worms by breeding them to reach a specific size . They make a pretty good penny sometimes.

Yes you are also right @cynetyc

amazing story behind your name but it's lovely😍😍. your real name is Stefan Dragos Alexandru then what is the story behind steemit name😜😜.
aww @cynetyc you have your own lil poultry form 😍😍 ducks chikens 😍😍😍😍 beautiful. If i'm not wrong gardening is your hobby right?

Yes I like to plant seeds and see them grow.
More then 70 % of what we cultivate we use to eat and try our best not to buy processed food.
Unfortunately this starts to grow in my country and it is harder to spot the organic product.
But I am still lucky as me and my family rely on farmers market and also the seeds that we plant and we get by just fine.

i do completely agree with you @cynetyc organic food has health taste and care of nature and these 3 elements are more significant motivation of organic food. "Organic food lower in toxic metals and antioxidants" though great job buddy keep it up and I'm also going to do in my spare time😇😇 and will share photographs with you 😇😇....

Happy birthday @cynetyc. I'm enjoying watching these story and video also photo collections. You're very active man. I see it your video.

its my pleasure..! 🙌

Happy birthday mate, may your smile be from ear to ear, may your life be full of cheer, An abundance of good wishes for u r in store, A new year filled with lots of love... 🤗

This is really cool to look at, but I feel like these (especially the first 3) should be growing in space or on another planet. lol

hahahaha good luck with the baby toes!

I can celebrate my birthday 2 times: One on 6 april and the other on 13 of april

So lucky, who can celebrate his birthday two times, it really unusual but at the same time full of fun. You should tell this thing to people who have borned on 29th feb, they will tear themselves apart

Ha ha ha, yeah that is a very good ideea @mumin007!

Sometimes even a friendly smile can save a life. People often forget others and become very engrossed in their own problems. This leads to a negative downward spiral and a chain reaction of selfishness. A generation of selfish people is the last thing we need today. Imagine if everybody was willing to be kind and compassionate to each other. If it was not forced, but a habit. This would change the world.

Amazing historicl history, pictures are wonderful related. Your gardening amazing, i also want to have a garden same like this 😊 you are very hard working person.
Great work!

Happy birthday .. keep enjoying the life.. be happy and keep making others happy by your amazing and cool sharings.. <3

Lucky one that you have got two birth dates to celebrate with your beloved ones. And it is even more good to see your love towards nature. You have an amazing story. Happy Birthday!!
