Sometimes name days are called Angel Day. This name recalls that in the old days the heavenly patrons were sometimes called the Angels of their earthly namesakes; however, one should not confuse the patron saints with the Guardian Angels sent to guard and protect people. Name day is the day of remembrance of the saint by whose name the person is named, and Angel Day is the day of baptism, when the Guardian Angel is appointed by God to man. Each baptized person has his own Guardian Angel, but his name is unknown to us.
