Celebrating People's Name Days?

[dimi_pat]

I have learned that Greeks, especially those in Greece, celebrate their name day. I want to be better at celebrating people's name days, even though I am not in Greece. I am looking for suggestions on how to help people celebrate. Some of my ideas:

• Send a card
• Give a gift, such as an icon of the saint
• Take them out for dinner or have them over
• Call them to wish them a happy name day

Does anyone know of a good name day calendar I can use to find out about when people's name days are?
