Name day of Victoria, Crown Princess
March 12, Tuesday
Name days in Sweden are traditionally celebrated in honor of a person's patron saint, but in the case of Princess Victoria, the celebration is linked to her name, which she bears to this day in honor of Saint Victoria. Saint Victoria, in turn, was a martyr revered in the Catholic Church, and her name day is also celebrated on March 12.
