Love across the miles to Bambi’s dad Antoine (or Tony or Antonio, as she likes to tease him), her uncle Tanios, three of her cousins, each one of them called Tony, and… Antoinette!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Bambi misses her awesome dad and looks forward to seeing him again as soon as realistically possible… hopefully in 2025 \u2764\ufe0f!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same for her adorable four relatives and family friend, in Beirut and Montreal, who are also celebrating their name day \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May Saint-Anthony, or “Mar” Anthonios the great, protect them all :)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May Saint Anthony also protect Mary and her family; today more than ever…. and may their\/our beloved Mounir’s memory be eternal, both in heaven and in our hearts \u2764\ufe0f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bearing the above in mind, it is time for music now to celebrate love, family gatherings, baba\/papy Antonio (+ all the dad’s of the world), and… Saint Anthony, with his own Byzantine prayer, chanted by the Choir of Beirut in Arabic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
