	Namesdays - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Namesdays or name days are a tradition, found in various Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries, of attaching personal names to each day of the year, and celebrating the association of particular days with those for whom that day is named.
		During medieval times the namesdays were of little significance in the Nordic countries, except for the celebration of patron saints for various guilds.
		Namesday celebrations in Poland traditionally involve a gathering of friends and family at the celebrant's home at the dinner table, followed by drinking and socializing.
