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

What I speak of is honoring someone with a particular name on a particular day. For instance, if you know someone named Lyubov, her name day is celebrated on September 30.

There is this one which you can enter a date for. http://www.rocor.org.au/prologue/index.html 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.
