My friend Patrycja is Polish and has her Name Day on August 28th, so this portrait was a present for her. In Poland Name Day is a special time for family and friends to gather, friends and family simply stop by to wish the person celebrating their Name Day 'Wszystkiego najlepszego' ( All the best) usually guests bring flowers and chocolates and maybe a drink of vodka .
Imieniny 'Name Day' is the feast day of the Saint for whom you are named, people over the age of thirteen usually celebrate their Imieniny rather than their Birthdays.....x
