I always wanted a name day! But so far, there is no Saint Linda (though I am looking into it:) <BR/>I love the tradition. They also celebrate name days in Bulgaria where a friend of mine is from. Her family throws parties that remind me of wedding receptions! Very elaborate,lovely and cherished tradition.LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-77766329375544267982008-04-23T21:12:00.000-05:002008-04-23T21:12:00.000-05:00Thomas,Name days are huge in Poland.

For them, the day you were born became your name day because you were given the name of the saint from that day!
