 The American Nameday Calendar is unique in a sense that, although first and foremost we celebrate our own first names, namedays in the calendar have become, in a way, instant reminders of many prominent Americans and eminent Christians on whom most of our namedays are based. (Originally all namedays in European calendars were based, and most of them still do, only on the feast days of the saints) The "Main version of the 2008 calendar includes the names and dates of those "Notables", along with some memorable moments and events in the history of our nation. And this version also includes Holidays and Moon phases. Click on thumbnails January to December, further down this page, for larger view. However, if you prefer not to have names and dates of these notables shown in the calendar, and like to view and download pages of the "conventional" version of the calendar instead, you can do so from the left side column. For comparison, January 30th, in both versions for example, are shown below. 
Calendar pages (in pdf  files) of the "Main version, from January to December,
can be viewed and downloaded below. If you don't have yet Adobe®Reader®) software installed in your computer,
you can download it free from Adobe's website www.adobe.com.
We like Abobe Reader because it allows anyone to view and print "PDF" files, such as the pages of our nameday calendars, accurately, exactly as they were originally created. When viewing, enlarge the page to the size you feel most comfortable with, and, in fact, you can enlarge these pages to almost any size.

Important:
If you want to print, remember to set your printer's page layout to "Landscape",
and click on the print icon on Adobe toolbar rather than that on your browser.
If your printer does not have the "borderless" printing option (unable to print all the
way to the edge of a paper), or if you just want to save ink, click HERE for the same
monthly pages, but without colored borders.
You can also save color ink by using "draft" (or "fast") setting of your printer options,
and/or by printing pages in either a grayscale or B&W.
