Spanish term or phrase: onomástica
Mas de 150 restaurantes sevillanas estuvieron presentes en el homenaje, además de preparar más de 70 tapas para celebrar esta onomástica.

El texto se trata de la celebración para una empresa, pero solo veo que ONOMASTICA se refiere a un dia del santo...

¿Alguien me puede echar una mano?

Gracias.

The -s was missing when I posted my option. Obviously, I was referring to the noun. Onomastics

agree  Deborah Workman: In this context, I agree. Otherwise, I know "onomástico" as "name day" (or saint's day with apostrophe ;-) and distinct from birthday (cumpleaños). For more on name day see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_day and http://www.behindthename.com/namedays/.

feast day


Explanation:
is the Catholic term, although with reference to names this involves the saint one was named after (i.e., I have no idea how a company could have one in this sense, unless it was Santa Lucía insurance or San Miguel beer...):
