11 Sept: A link between Ethiopia and Catalonia

As you know Mayte and me are based in Barcelona, Catalonia, a region/state in Spain.
There are some traditions that link Catalonia and Ethiopia.

The 11th. of September is the National Day of Catalonia, and it is also a remarkable day in Ethiopia.

Also the "protector saint" or master of Catalonia is 'Sant Jordi', Saint George in English, a saint very important for the Ethiopian orthodox church. More about Sant Jordi tradition.
