Catholic Saint
of the Day
There is a
Catholic Saint for practically every day of
the year and these are referred to as the Feast
Days. What is the origin and meaning of Feast
Days? Most saints have specially designated
feast days which are associated with a specific
day of the year and these are referred to as
the saint's feast day. The Catholic Saint's
feast days first arose from the very early Christian
custom of the annual commemoration of martyrs
on the dates of their deaths, at the same time
celebrating their birth into heaven. Eventually,
as time passed, practically every day of the
year had at least one saint who was commemorated
on that date - a Saint of the day.
