In the Catholic church, patron saints are holy people that have gone before us who give us an example of ways to live our lives and who can intercede for us. In Poland (as well as several countries in Europe), it is common to celebrate Name Day which typically aligns with the feast day celebration. November 17th is Elizabeth's feast day - the feast day of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. To make it a special day, we had a family outing to Ritter's for chocolate ice cream. Elizabeth had a wonderful time - we think she's going to be pretty into the feast day thing!
