Saints' Name

I was forced to find another name for the Confirmation Ceremony in church since my name, Deric, is a modern name. I have to search a name which had already appeared in Jesus' time, or those people who has faith or met with God like Adam and Eve (the first human that created by God).

Now you must be very confuse about what the hell is Saint and Confirmation? Well, the meaning of Saint is Holy/Good/Pure, if people out there called you Saint like Saint Alan, that's mean you just like a God to them, you are a very very very very very good person, you would sacrifice yourself for God or people without thinking whether it's worth or not, a.k.a Martyr.

Confirmation for us Christian students normally means, graduation from the Sunday School. But what's the truth meaning i dont really know, lol! I only know that if you dont perform this ceremony, you cant get marry in church, showing the result that you're not a Christian=.=

I found a website which list out all the boys and girls' Saints' Names, it also got tell us who are they and when or how did they died. Seriously, i realized that their death is very painful, some of them were torture to death, some of them were starved to death for a kid@~@

Anyway, i picked up some several names that are very suitable for me, i mean very suitable for my last name, Loh. They are Fabian, Damien/Damian, Eric/Erik/Erich, Adrian, Alexander and Aaron. One of this names will become my second official name, lol! So after the ceremony, i have two names instead of one, lol! You can call me either Deric or....

I think Damien/Damian (both of this names are different people) will be the biggest chance for me to pick, i can find more information about them than the others. This is because we have to do a research about the person that we picked, not like you can pick whatever or whoever you want without knowing the Saint person, and this is apart from the Sunday School Project which may help us add extra marks in our exam.

These is Saint Damien, who also known as Father Damien. He was born on January 3, 1840 but died on April 14, 1889 at the age of 49 in Hawaii. I wonder why all those Saints people always died in a young age...?

No need to think much, these is his grave in Hawaii

Saint Damian (right) and his twin brother, Saint Cosmas were known as the protector of children, the brothers were born in the 3rd century....

These is the grave of the Saints Twins, inside that gold box(?) contain the twins' skulls=.=
