Birth Date on Record and Check Name on Record

I found a birth record and have three questions:

 

1. What is the Moveable Feast Day on this birth record so I can translate it to a date?
2. What are the names on a birth record after the name of the baby? Are these witnesses?
3. Are the last two names on this record are Halvor Hansen and Anna Toresteinsdatter? (If so they are also in my family tree.)

 

Thanks!

The date is "samme dag", same day (as the previous record). You must look two entries up to find the feast day name-it is a fixed feast date "Maria Bebudelsedag" which, before 1771 was 25 March. (See here for an article about fixed feast days begining with letter "M".) The names after the child's name are witnesses to the christening. The are Joen Snøva, Ingbrigt Evensen Nesja(?), Even ibid (ie. Nesja(?), Ingebor Fahle and Ane Tostensdotter
