Greetings!
I've been trying to find information about individual's "saints days" online without luck.
It's my understanding that there are days where individuals with certain names are honored on certain days (sorry if this is a vague description, but my understanding is a little vague).
If anyone could help me in finding information about this, I'd be much obliged!
Thanks

Kesha have a look here. It may be what you are looking for.

I don't think that this tradition is much practised today though.

Yes I'm puzzled that link bought up different infomation when I looked at the site this morning.

There is this one which you can enter a date for.

But your lady does not show up on that day.

I also remember that the churches used to put out a calendar with all those days on them but I haven't been to a church for years.
