In Poland among the Catholics, each person is often given a name of a Saint as part of their given names. Each Saint has a calendar day that is associated with them for recognition of that Saint and their history and miracles, etc. People who have those names celebrate on their Saint's "name day" in a way that is very similar to how birthdays are celebrated in the US. In Poland nowadays many have also adopted the birthday traditions to have a similar party on their date of birth and in so doing, the result is sort of like having two birthdays.

What are the meaning of birthdays in the sight of God?

Birthdays are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, so their significance in the sight of God is not clearly defined. Some Christians see birthdays as an opportunity to celebrate life and thank God for another year.

We Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible is inspired from god from beginning to end and we adhere to the bible as the standard for all our beliefs. In the bible only two birthdays are spoken of in which both someone was killed.
