In the Orthodox Christian church, name days are observed on the person's saint day. Your saint can be one who shares your name, or one you chose at baptism, if you were baptized later in life (as I was). Your saint day may be the date of the saint's birth or death.

For Catholics it is usually the day when the Saint died.
