What is the day of names?
The name of names is often called a holiday and is often celebrated by Catholics and members of the Eastern Orthodox Church, especially in Europe. The name is celebrated when a person shares a name with a saint on a day that is intended for honor of this holy. For example, those who were named Patrick or Patricia celebrated the day of their name on St. Patrick, 17 March, according to the calendars of the Saints. The birthday party was often considered less than Christian and many believed that it was not right to promote to status requiring honor. This position is still held by witnesses to celebrate the day of the name instead of focusing on a particular holy, and I thought it inspired one to virtues of the Holy Name. In modern Greece, it is becoming increasingly common to celebrate the name of the name than to celebrate your birthday.
Not all people with the same or derivative names celebrate the same day of the title. It depends very much on which liturgical calendar for the Holy, which one uses. Finland uses a name calendar similar to the Eastern Orthodox Church. TOAtols use a different calendar.
Name Day can be celebrated very much like a birthday. This is common in Poland and Russia. People can receive gifts and also have family or friends for a special dinner. Birthdays can also be celebrated in both countries.
Latvian traditions are quite different. The names of the name do not correspond to the names of the saints and every calendar day can be associated with up to four names. People can even present names for inclusion in Calendars. When the name of man arrives, he is celebrated with birthday fashion.
offices and schools often make quite a production from Name Day celebrations in Latvia and with many workers or students there is a good chance to celebrate quite often. Unlike birthday traditions where people receive gifts, on a day, people often give classmates or office workers small donations of candies or gifts.
In the US, the day is celebrated with no regularity. NThe members of the Roman and Eastern Orthodox churches still observe the name of the name. Usually, however, the American birthday tradition is much more important than the name of the name. Those from the US who are not a Christian would have little reason to celebrate the name of the name, because they would be named after the Holy would not be much aware of.
In addition, it is now less common in the US to name children after saints. Many of them prefer more unusual names for their children than the names associated with the Holy. However, schools are time to use the opportunity to give each child a chance to be a VIP for a week or day and celebrations of uniqueness and child contributions are quite common.
