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. This is his feast day.
Why so many feast days in the Catholic and Orthodox churches? Feast days were granted by The Church to allow peasants and others to take a day off. As most worked 6 days a week, feast days provided a break that landowners and nobility couldn't deny. Today, the average American gets 104 weekend days and 6 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, and that equals at least 114 days off a year, four more days than most Americans, today, are afforded each year.
