Bulgarian Name Days

Name days are celebrated in Bulgaria, the name day is the celebration of the life of a saint. Anyone with the name of this saint celebrates the day like you would celebrate a birthday. Below is a calendar of all the names and the days they are celebrated.

A few name days dates change slightly every year depending on the date of the Orthodox Easter. Also you will notice some LUCKY people get to have more than one name day in a year, unfortunately my name is Guy and this is not on the name day list :o(
