Lammas Dag

I'm indexing an Orebro Sweden birth record for a Nils born 6 April 1746. It says he was baptized on "lammas" or "tammas" dag. Does anyone know what day that is referring to?

    Most likely it actually says "sammen dag" and is just written with a long S that looks like an L. That means, "same day" so you should see what the previous entry was dated.

    Thank you! So that's what that was... I think it's saying that he was baptized on the same day as his birth.

    That totally makes sense with the long S, too. Like they did with the patronymic last names with the second S. Thank you!​
