DESCRIPTION:

National Hermit Day celebrates the value of being alone every once in a while and using the time for contemplation and prayer. It is a day for you to take some days off, turn off your computer and phone, and just rest and relax.

The day marks the death of Saint Colman Mac Duagh of Cork, Ireland, on October 29, 632. He was known for living in seclusion and spending time in quiet contemplation and built one of the first monasteries in Ireland, the Monastery of Kilmacduagh. 

Saint Colman Mac Duagh is the origin of using a rooster's morning crows as an alarm clock.

WHY SO MANY FEAST DAYS?
 
Have you ever noticed that there seem to be feast days for just about everything in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian faiths? There is a reason for that. The church granted feast days to allow all subjects of the Crown to take a day off. As most worked six days a week, feast days provided a break that landowners and nobility couldn't deny. If they tried, they were going against the church, and that you did not do.

In medieval times, there were approximately 60 feast days a year. Add this to 52 Sundays, Christmas, and Easter, and workers received a minimum of 114 days off a year. Contrast that to today. The average American gets 104 weekend days and seven national holidays off work. That's three days less than the commoners of the Dark Ages, just in case you're feeling a little overworked.
