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.
