[Spring Nicola Day]
During the imperial era, peasants placed more importance on days of the week than on months and dates, and dates were often named after saints, such as "Spring Nikola's Day" (May 9th on the Russian calendar) or "Yuri's Day" (November 26th on the Russian calendar). Orthodox Christians also had the custom of celebrating the anniversary of the death of a saint with the same name as themselves as a "name day," which they called "name-day celebration (imeniny)."
