List of Saints' Feastdays: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:36, 17 July 2004

remember that some medeival calenders got dates of saint's feast days wrong, or debated the date between differnt church sections.
local areas would celebrate only the saint's feast days relevant to them - they might celebrate the well known saints of their country, and also a few local saints, and saints relevant ot their landscape and specialities (eg farming saints, saints of sailors, vinters, etc) and also saints relevant to their personal circumstances (female saints for a convent, saints of chastity for a person who had taken a vow of chastity, etc). There was a big push in the 12th century to introduce saint thomas beckett to europe (from england)- gifts of clothing with embroideries of his martyrdom were sent to many european churches as a publicity campaign.
Books of saints days existed in medieval times. One 12th century example online is the http://www.abdn.ac.uk/stalbanspsalter/english/index.shtml, also with an http://www.abdn.ac.uk/stalbanspsalter/english/essays/calendar.shtml#feastdays about the saints days within.
