Name Days in December 2025: When to Celebrate Angel's Day According to the New and Old Style.

According to ТСН: Name days, or 'Angel's Day', are celebrated in the Christian tradition in honor of the saint after whom a person is named. In Ukraine, this holiday is observed according to the church calendar. However, due to the difference between the Gregorian (old) and New Julian (new) calendars, the dates of name days can vary significantly.

This difference leads to the situation where people with the same name celebrate their angel's day on different days, depending on the calendar they follow.
