The first day of the Icelandic month of Goa is Konudagur – Women's Day. The previous month in Goa is Þorri, and the first day of this is celebrated as Men's Day or Farmer's Day. This month also marks Thorrablot, a large traditional meal.
Konudagur, in honor of women
The Icelandic months are named after deities. Þorri, often written Thorri, is the personification of frost and winter, and Góa is his daughter, whose name perhaps comes from the old word Nordic for "snowflake." Its month is the penultimate of the winter months, the days are obviously longer, and the weather is milder.
The word Konudagur was first used in the 1800s, and today it is celebrated in a similar way to Mother's Day or Valentine's Day, with people taking the time to appreciate the women in their lives. They will often be brought flowers, a cooked dinner, and generally pampered.
