ArchivesRe: Nameday for Lena in Russia?
in reply to a message by Balázs Katalin
Lena is a diminutive form of Elena/Hellen.
So, the nameday is May_21: St.Constantine, the Roman Emperor, and St. Hellen, his mother:

As the Russian orthodox church has not adopt the Gregorian change of calendar yet, 13 days are to be added to May_21 and the result will be June_3.
