Ms. Hoffman got to visit a very cool city called Olomouc (pronounced Awl-a-moots) in the Czech Republic. One of the unique things here is an astrological clock. It shows many things (click here for more info) but one of the things is a dial of all the "Name Days" throughout the year. There is a special saint's name for each day. One of the most well-known is St. Valentine's day on February 14th. But there is really one for EVERY day. Apparently, in the Czech Republic, people celebrate their "name day" much like a 2nd birthday. If your name is Martin, you can also celebrate St. Martin's day for example (for more info, click here.) Unfortunately, Ms. Hoffman tried to find her name, but there was no saint with the same name. So, instead she wanted to figure out which day of the year was her birthday.
*She did a google search later and found a list of name days that has her name! Check here to find YOUR name day.
There are 365 name days. Ms. Hoffman's birthday is on November 19. Can you figure what number of the year it is??
