Saint's Day (February 29)

Saint's Day on February 29 refers to a celebration that occurs only during leap years, which happen every four years to keep our calendar aligned with Earth's orbit. This day is dedicated to honoring specific saints acknowledged by the church, although there are no widely recognized saints specifically associated with February 29 itself. Because February 29 appears infrequently, its observance is more symbolic, highlighting the unique nature of leap years and the tradition of commemorating saints within the liturgical calendar.
