A great cloud of witnesses

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)

What is a saint's feast day?

A feast day is the day the church gives thanks for a particular Christian and remembers their life and witness. Christians honor the saints not as objects of worship, which belongs to God alone, but as brothers and sisters who ran the race before us and now cheer us on. Traditions differ on how the saints are honored, and the same saint is sometimes remembered on different days in the Catholic, Orthodox, and other calendars; the dates here follow the record kept on Wikidata.
