<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: blue;">In
West-Flanders we have almost the same words (and traditions). There is however
one word that is still in use for all these cards: sentje / santje or
zentje/zantje.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: blue;">I
think that it is dirived from the latin word 'sanctus'.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: blue;" lang="NL">We speak of 'doôsantje, geboortekartje,
