Namesake Tanja

Your own name is inextricably linked to your identity - how wonderful when you also feel connected to a saint via this bridge. The new names often conceal older ones. Tanja, for example, is the modern short form of Tatjana. This bronze image is reminiscent of Saint Tatyana of Rome, who is venerated above all in the Greek and Russian churches. According to legend, she lived around 1800 years ago, was the daughter of a consul and died as a martyr because of her Christian faith.
