do some Anglicans know name days?

Name days are an age old Christian custom, especially a Catholic custom.
Not only Catholics know them.
of you ask google, you will find lots of infos

 

as a Bernard or Bernhard i have about 25 name days.

famous among them is Bernard of Clairveaux

 

it is an age old custom, not some new fashion

 

i am curious how you will vote

 

Today is the day of Saint Herluca of Bavaria

 

I know my Name Day. My family heritage dates back into Greek Catholic/Orthodox, so Name Days were a big part of their family practices.

 

i am glad to read this.

i could not believe that name days should be so completely unknown.

 

and who does not like name days?

 

Some of the odd names children are called of late might make name days a bit awkward.

Does Apple have a Name Day?

 

must we see names like Paris Hilton etc as our ideal?
