I've met a lot of people who celebrate their Nameday, and other who don't. Most of the people who did celebrate their Nameday happened to be Russian. I learned that the Russian tradition is huge on making ones patronal feast day big.
So, tell me how you celebrate this day!
Personally, my husband and I do an Akathist to the Saint who's name I bear, sing the Troparion and light a candle all day in front of my Patron Saint. My friends usually come over, they come with religious gifts, we eat and then read the story of the Saint.
God Bless!
