Little known fact: Vit is a Russian/Latin version of Veit (or vice
versa)
Since I've done some research about my name a while back I'm going to
bore you with what I found:
-----------------
Veit, aka Vit, Wido; Veicht, Veidl, Veil (Bavarian); Vitus, Vit, Vito
(Latin); Voit, Guido (French); Guy (English); Witas (Swedish); Wida
(Hungarian); Vit, Veit (Russian)
Day (katholic and orthodox): June 15
St. Vitus/Veit was born in Sicily and died a Martyrs-Death around 303
in Lucania (southern Italy) at the age of 12 (or 7, depends on the
source).
One of the 14 Holy Keepers
Patron of: Lower Saxony, Saxony, Bohemia, Sicily, Prague, Corvey; young
people, epileptics, Landlords, Pharmacists, Winegrowers, Actors,
Beerbrewers, Miners, Coppersmiths; those unable to hear and speak;
Pets; Chastity, good harvest; the Obsessed; against: Hysteria, Cramps,
Rabies, Veits-Dance, Kids who pee in the Bed, Eye and Ear sicknesses,
catastrophic weather, danger of lightning and fire, infertility
-------------
I'm not so much into Katholicism, but I remember visiting the
Veits-Dome in Prague on a field trip back in School. Was kinda cool ;-)
