It's only recently that names such as Nina have been added to a more newfangled name day list. Before, name days were linked to patron saints and there was no registered Saint Nina. So my mother was told. I was nameless for a while until she received official permission to stray from the saint listings. For Poles, a name day tends to be more popular/celebrated than a birthday. You don't have to keep track of each person's date -- it's widely known which saint falls on which day. I, of course, could not celebrate a name day. To this day, I find that whole celebration a bit odd! :)ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-21652001120314899182017-04-22T17:07:58.010-05:002017-04-22T17:07:58.010-05:00Happy birthday!

I gather many European countries (including Poland) celebrate both and I see Nina is one of the names celebrated in Poland. <br />Hmm... is there a Polish equivalent of our Happy Birthday song? Time for Snowdrop to learn it if there is!

My birthday season begins May 1, birthday May 6 and the whole month of May is MINE and for all those born in May. Celebrate life every day in any way that you can. !!!!!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556285785542911821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-41869654390431689062017-04-22T08:26:28.664-05:002017-04-22T08:26:28.664-05:00Well done.
