Happy November Birthday to all my friends by Joyful226/ by Connie

May you have a very Happy Birthday for those born in November this card is especially for you. The lady is playing your song: Happy Birthday to you .. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday God Bless you, Happy Birthday to you. Your birthstone the Topaz can be seen in this greeting on the lady and on the cross. The poem The Topaz tells a little about meaning of those born in this month and a little about the meaning of stone as well: "Who first comes to this world below In dreary November‘s fog and snow, Should prize the Topaz amber hue, Emblem of friends and lovers true." Topaz is most desired in its rich orange Imperial Topaz color but it is found in a variety of rich colors like blue, pink and yellow.The origin of birthstones is believed to date back to the breastplate of Aaron which contained twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. The current list dates back to 1912. The word ‘topaz,’ birthstone for the month of November, comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “fire.” And in ancient lore, the topaz could be used to control heat. It was said to have the power to cool boiling water, as well as excessive anger. As medication, Topaz was used to cure fever. Pure topaz itself is a colorless stone. Red and some pink topaz get their colors from chromium that is substituted for aluminum in the crystals. But most other colors occur due to minor element substitutions and defects in the crystal. Some colors are unstable and can fade away; for example, brown topaz mined in Siberia can be bleached by sunlight. In other stones, color changes can be induced by heating. High energy irradiation and moderate heat treatment of colorless topaz can transform it to blue gemstones.Chemically, topaz is known as aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide. Because of strong chemical bonds within this mineral, topaz is the hardest of silicate minerals. Topaz gemstones occur in a large variety of sizes, from tiny crystals to large rocks. The biggest uncut stone, a specimen found in Brazil weighing almost 600 pounds, is on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.During the Middle Ages, the topaz was used mostly by royalty and clergy. A 13th century belief held that a topaz engraved with a falcon helped its wearer cultivate the goodwill of kings, princes and magnates. Topaz was once thought to strengthen the mind, increase wisdom, and prevent mental disorders. It was thought to guard against sudden death. Powdered topaz added to wine was used to prevent asthma and insomnia. A cure for weak vision called for immersing the stone in wine for three days and nights, then rubbing the liquid on the eyes. Your Flower is the Chrysanthemum also called just Mum, which is used in the back ground and is also on the piano with the lady. The meaning of the November Birth Flower, the Chrysanthemum is With Love and Cheerfulness. The Hidden message of November Birth Flower, the Chrysanthemum The hidden message of the Birth Flower, the Chrysanthemum, so favored during the Victorian era meaning "You're a Wonderful Friend". Other things on this greeting about your wonderful birth month are: Upper left All Saints day is every Nov 1. All Hallows Eve which became Halloween means All Holy Evening in preparation for All Saints Day. It was suppose to be something like Christmas Eve to Christmas getting ready for the big day. This is a day that many churches remember all the Saints that have gone on before. Next on the right side is Venetian's Day in the USA on Nov. 11 remembering when the Armistice was signed to end WWI. I was first to only honor military that passed away later when Memorial day set set the USA changed the name to Veterans day in order to honor all Former Military personal. The next major Holiday Is Thanksgiving.It is the last Thursday of the Month each year in the USA. Then on the Following Sunday this is the first Sunday in Advent a time of solemn reflection of Christ's coming into the world to save us all from sin. A time of darkness was over the world and then Christ the light for the world was born on Christmas Day. Each week the candle lit has a meaning for us to reflect upon all four Sundays until the greatly anticipated day of Christ with great exception it has arrived and Jesus is born! Next is the feast of St. Andrew on the last day of November the 30th Observed in Orthodox Christian Churches The Roman Catholic Church The Anglican/Episcopalian Presbyterianism churches, and the Patronal feast of Scotland St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland. His flag is a blue field with a white large X for the style of the cross he was crucified upon. Lots of traditions in many countries around the world on St. Andrews Day. Of course no birthday celebration is complete with a cake with candles or a candle at least to blow out and ice cream along with a gift or more. Wishing you a very happy and wonderful Birthday.
