8/1 2024

The first baby of 2024 born in Ostrava is a boy named Gabriel. The name is of Hebrew origin, meaning “God is powerful”. He was born on 1 January, just 39 minutes after midnight, at Ostrava’s University Hospital. Gabriel’s family lives in Ostrava-Jih, and he has a 2½ year-old brother.

Ostrava’s Mayor Jan Dohnal brought gifts for Gabriel and congratulated his proud mother. Among the gifts was a set of early reading books called “Bookstart”, which has been created by Ostrava City Library.

We welcome Gabriel among us and wish him great happiness, health and success throughout his life!
