In Poland among the Catholics, each person is often given a name of a Saint as part of their given names. Each Saint has a calendar day that is associated with them for recognition of that Saint and their history and miracles, etc. People who have those names celebrate on their Saint's "name day" in a way that is very similar to how birthdays are celebrated in the US. In Poland nowadays many have also adopted the birthday traditions to have a similar party on their date of birth and in so doing, the result is sort of like having two birthdays.
