4) Cono Sur (Cos) patch, darnSANTO As well as celebrating their birthday, many Spaniards and Latin Americans celebrate their santo or onomástica. This is the day when the saint whose name they have is honoured in the Christian calendar. It used to be relatively common for newborn babies to be named after the saint on whose day they were born. So a boy born on 25 July (Saint James's day) stood a good chance of being christened "Santiago". The tradition may be dying out now that parents are no longer restricted to names from the Christian calendar. In Spain, as with birthdays, the person whose santo it is normally buys the drinks if they go out with friends.* * *I- ta adjetivo1) (Relig)a) <lugar/mujer/vida> holyb) ( con nombre propio) St, SaintSanto Domingo — Saint Dominic; ver tb San
