A very curious cultural habit of the Dutch is the celebration of 50 year old anniversary. Men are then named "Abraham" and women "Sarah". Family and friends make fun of the age passage decorating the outer side of the person's home with posters, banners and sometimes a giant doll dressed in old fashioned clothes (see picture below). It is so typical Dutch telling to the world outside that a child has succeeded in exams, the couple has had a baby boy/girl or that one of the house owners has met "Abaham/Sarah".
