Saint Luke wrote one of the four Gospels in the New Testament. He is the patron saint of artists, physicians, bachelors, surgeons, students, and butchers. Today is his feast day.
Why so many feast days in the Catholic and Orthodox churches? The Church granted feast days to allow patrons of the Crown. As most worked six days a week, feast days provided a break that landowners and nobility couldn't deny. The average American gets 104 weekend days and seven national holidays off work a year.
In medieval times, there were approximately 60 feast days a year. Add this to 52 Sundays, Christmas, and Easter, which equals at least 114 days off a year, three more days than most Americans are afforded each year.
