Saints birthdays

[MarcoPolo]

How do I find out if I or my friends share a birthday with a Saint? Is there a list??

Yup. Go here and then select whatever day you want to check - it’ll give you a list of all the saints whose feast falls on that day. Click on any of the saints names it’ll give you a short biography of that saint.

saint’s feast days usually correspond to the day they died. they have gone on to their heavenly reward.

i don’t think you can find a list of their earthly birthdays, just their heavenly ones.

we actually don’t know the actual birth date of most saints, even of Jesus or Mary. What we usually do know is the date of their death, and that is often the date they are commemorated.

I’ve found this to be a great resource to find information on saints:

catholic-forum.com/saints/patronnf.htm

It’s not an “official” site as I understand it (someone created/maintains it out of love for God and the saints), but I really like it.

I also use the Catholic Online one that someone else posted. You can also search EWTN’s document libraries.
