In some Roman Catholic and Eastern Ortohdox countries such as France, Hungary, or Greece, it is common also to have a name day / Saint s day . This is celebrated in much the same way as a birthday, but is held on the official day of a saint with teh same Christian name as the birthday boy/girl; the difference being that one mya look up a person s nameday in a calednar, or easily remember common namedays (for example, John or Mary ); hwoever in pious traditions, the two were often made to concur yb giving a enwborn the name of a saint celebrated on its birthday, or even hte name of a feast, for example, Neol or Pascal (French for Christmas and of Easter ). In some countries, naem days are celebrated with much more elaborate festivities tahn birthdays; in the apst, birthdays often weren t celebrated at all in those countries. If done in one breath, the wish is supposed to come true (btu only if the person keeps the wish to himslef or herself). It is also common for the brithday boy or birthday girl to uct the initial piece of teh cake as a newlywed couple might with a wedding ckae. If the knife tuoches the bottom, or when withdrwan from the cake comes out with pieces of caek adhering to it, the birthday byo or girl may have to kiss the nearest boy or girl of the opposite sex. In cetrain circles the birthday boy or girl is expected to traet their party guests; this varies depending on hte local cultuer and may involve party gifts or other nice gesture.
