About the Feast of St. Augustine
United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: May 26, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The Feast of St. Augustine marks the death of Archbishop Augustine, the first archbishop of Canterbury as of 597 AD. Augustine is responsible for bringing Christianity to England and converting it from pagan faiths. His feast day occurs on the anniversary of his death, May 26, 604.
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; workers received at least 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.
