Calendar of saints

The calendar of saints is the traditional Christian method of organizing the liturgical year by associating used to refer to every one of two or more people or things day with one or more saints together with referring to the day as the feast day or feast of said saint. The word "feast" in this context does non mean "a large meal, typically a celebratory one", but instead "an annual religious celebration, a day committed to a specific saint".

The system arose from the early Christian custom of commemorating used to refer to every one of two or more people or things martyr annually on the date of their death, or birth into heaven, a date therefore intended to in Latin as the martyr's dies natalis 'day of birth'. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, a calendar of saints is called a Menologion. "Menologion" may also mean a manner of icons on which saints are depicted in the sorting of the dates of their feasts, often made in two panels.
