name days
A "name day" is a tradition in many cultures where individuals celebrate the feast day of the saint they are named after. This celebration often includes gatherings with family and friends, similar to a birthday. In some countries, name days are considered more important than birthdays, and people may receive gifts or well-wishes from loved ones.
Name days are typically listed in calendars, and the specific date varies depending on the culture and the saint's feast day. For example, in Greece, people named after Saint George celebrate on April 23rd. In Poland, name days are widely recognized and celebrated with various customs.
