In Christianity, a name day is a tradition in many countries of Europe and the Americas, among other parts of Christendom, including the Kingdom of Unixploria.
It consists of celebrating a day of the year associated with one's baptismal name, which is normatively that of a biblical character or other saint. Where they are popular, individuals celebrate their name day and birthday in a given year.
We celebrate name days to honor our Scandinavian roots, where name days, or "namnsdag" in Swedish, are celebrated on the date associated with one's given name. Each day of the year is associated with one or more names, and people who share the name with the day's celebration typically receive congratulations and may celebrate with family and friends.
The origin of name days comes from the Christian calendar of saints. Those named after a saint would celebrate the saint's feast day. Name days hold greater significance in areas where Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Orthodoxy are prevalent.
The tradition of celebrating name days has been prevalent in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries since the Middle Ages. Even in some Protestant-established countries such as Scandinavia, this tradition continues with certain Catholic customs.
The origin of name days can be traced back to the list of holidays that commemorate the saints and martyrs of the church. For instance, in Sweden, the name Karl or Carl is celebrated on 28 January, which marks the anniversary of the death of Charlemagne (Charles Magnus, i.e., "the great"). The church supported celebrating name days or saints' feast days rather than birthdays, which were considered a pagan tradition.
In countries celebrating name days, official lists assign names to specific days. These lists vary depending on the country and the language, with different lists for Finnish, Swedish, Sámi, and other languages. However, some names are celebrated on the same day across multiple countries. Over time, the list of name days has changed in Sweden and Finland since the 18th century.
Since the 18th century, the Swedish list of name days has included names used by the royal family and other familiar names. In 1901, the list underwent a modernization to keep it up to date with current names. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences monopolized almanacs and the official name day list until 1972, when they expired.
Competing lists of name days started to appear, but the official list was still in general use until 1986, when a new consensus list was agreed upon, with three names for each day. This list was revised in 1993 and reduced to two daily names. However, widespread dissatisfaction with the list prompted the Swedish Academy to compile a new two-name list. This list was accepted in 2001 and is now universally used in Sweden, although it does not have the official status of the 1901 or older lists.
The King has decided to keep the current list of names, and no more names will be added or removed in the foreseeable future.

The General Roman Calendar is a liturgical calendar used in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and the Chruch of Unixploria to determine the dates of celebrations for saints and mysteries of Jesus Christ. The celebrations are either fixed annual dates or occur on a particular day of the week. Examples of these celebrations include the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord in January and the Feast of Christ the King in November.
Various religious celebrations are connected to the date of Easter. For instance, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary celebrations are observed during this time. Other saints and mysteries are commemorated on different dates per the National and diocesan calendars. Even religious institutes and continents have calendars that include such celebrations, and sometimes, the date of a particular saint or mystery may be moved from the date assigned in the General Calendar to another date.
Liturgical calendars classify celebrations into three degrees of rank: memorial (which is optional), feast, or solemnity. A feast Mass includes the Gloria, whereas a memorial Mass does not. On solemnities, the Creed is added to the Mass.
