Zacharie, the father of John the Baptist, the one who remained silent until the birth of his son. It always makes me think of my own father who lost his voice after an operation and regained his ability to speak just before Christmas. Happy birthday to everyone who bears this name today.
That Zacharie who remained mute until the birth of John the Baptist reminded me of my father, who after throat surgery did not speak for three months. He started saying "let's eat" again right around Christmas, as if someone had given him a sign. Thanks for the mention, Thomas.
Po, Zacharie ai atij që u bë pa zë derisa lindi djalin. Më kujtoi vjehrrin tim që pas një goditjeje në tru heshti për muaj të tërë; filloi të flasë sërish kur vajza jonë e vogël i solli një ikonë të Shën Gjon Pagëzuesit nga shkolla. Faleminderit që e solli në mendje, Thomas.
Yes, Corina, your father's story is very similar to Zacharie's. In our village, a neighbor was also silent for almost four months after an operation and the first word was still "let's eat", but on Easter. Thanks for the mention too, Thomas.
