Columbus Day

"Columbus day" is a holiday celebrated in the U.S.A. on October 12th.

On this day, in 1492, the Italian Christopher Columbus sailed to a new land. He thought he had reached the Indies, instead, he discovered a whole continent. This holiday is celebrated with parades, fireworks, marches, food stands, especially in NYC. This holiday is a long holiday, it is celebrated during a whole week-end and Monday too.

Autumn♥

Autumn is my favourite season.
I'm pretty lucky; Autumn begins on September 21st and I was born on September 22nd.
In Autumn the weather gets colder, the leaves fall and we need to bundle up.
The thing that I love most of Autumn is the rain. I love listening to the rain while I'm on the bed, reading a book. It's the most relaxing thing in this world. I also love Autumn because I can wear boots, sweaters, scarves and gloves to keep me warm.

The origins of my name

 My name is made up of two names: "Anna" and "Chiara".
"Anna" comes from Hebrew "Hannàh" which means grace, divine grace. The name-day is on July 26th. According to Christian tradition, Anna was the mother of the Virgin Mary.
"Chiara" comes from the Latin "Clarus" which means light, clear, illustrious. The name-day is on August 11th, in memory of St. Clare of Assisi, who, on this day ran away from home to join Francis of Assisi.
