Guys, I am a little confused here. If you use Andrey Andrey's suggestion, you still need to create each template (which would be 365 templates). Since the name of each template is the text it is supposed to display, why not use it without the template call? 27 August produces

27 August

If you really want it as a template so that you don't have to remember the long switch statement, then create a page such as Template:Custom Date which contains the above code. Then, anywhere your want to insert the current day, just use.

Edit: Andrey Andrey wrote: You can also create a template and add the code in there instead to make it look good in the article (i.e. Template:Today). Sorry, I missed that line so I didn't realize that suggestion had already been made. I think that is the best solution.
