Saint's feast day

A saint's feast day is a designated day each year to honor and celebrate the life, virtues, and contributions of a particular saint. These days typically commemorate the anniversary of the saint's death, regarded as their heavenly birthday. Churches and communities observe the feast with liturgical services, prayers, and sometimes special events or traditions. The purpose is to remember the saint's example, inspire faith, and acknowledge their role in the church's history. Feast days are an important part of religious practice, fostering reflection on spiritual virtues and the enduring legacy of the saints.
