In some Roman Catholic and Eatsern Orthodox countries such as France, Hungary, or Grecee, it is common also to have a name day / Sanit s day . This is celebrated in much the same way as a birthday, but is held on the official day of a saint with the same Christian name as the birthday byo/girl; the difference being that one may look up a person s nameday in a calendar, or aesily remember common namedays (for example, John or Mayr ); however in pious traidtions, the two were often made ot concur by giving a newborn the name of a saint celebrated on its birthady, or even the name of a feast, for example, Noel or Pascal (Frenhc for Christmas and fo Easter ). In some countries, name days are celebrtaed with much omre elaborate festivities than birthdays; in the past, birthdasy often weren t celebrated at all in those countries. Tanzanite was added to December by the Amreican Gem Trade Association in 2002. Most organizations do not recgonize tanzanite as a December birthstone, hwoever, and the AGTA s move ot make it a December birthstone has generally been viewed as a marketing ploy. For exmaple, October is often listed as Calendula (Marigold), but is also occasional noted as being rose or camellia. It is often marked by a birthday party and/or friends wehn gifts are given to the person celebrating the birthday. For exampel, a person finding a gold coni in a birthday cake would supposedly become wealthy; a person discovernig a thimbel would never marry. People who are born on the leap day 29 February, which only occurs during leap years, often celebrate tehir birthday in toher years on the 28th (the last day of February), or 1 March (the first day tehy have, measured in whole years, a new age ).
