Sándor, József, Benedek

Sándor, József, Benedek are Hungarian male names. If you look at a Hungarian calendar, you'll see that it is full of names, at least two names each day of the year. Hungarians celebrate not only their birthdays but also their namedays. You may well think that Hungarians seize every opportunity to celebrate:-)

In the Hungarian folk belief, Sándor (March 18), József (March 19) and Benedek (March 21) usher in Spring:

"Sándor-József-Benedek bring warm weather in a sack."
(Sándor-József-Benedek zsákban hozza a meleget.)

However, they did not bring warmth this year. And the first swallows also failed to arrive on the 19th of March but hopefully, they are on their way to us.
