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.
