-=== Feast Dates  ===
-Each day of the year had several patron saints and was a feast day to honor those saints. Some vital events are recorded in church records only by the holy day (feast day) on the church calendar. For example, the feast day called “All Saints Day” [Allerheiligentag] is “1 November.” To convert feast dates to days of the month for either the Julian (old style) or Gregorian (new style) calendar, use the following book:
-Bukke, Inger M., et al. ''The Comprehensive Genealogical Feast Day Calendar.'' Bountiful, Utah, USA: Thomson's Genealogical Center, 1983. (FHL book 529.44 C738; fiche 6,054,630.)
-An online feast date calculator may be found at the [http://people.albion.edu/imacinnes/calendar///Ecclesiastical_dates_files/widget1_markup.html Albion College website]. Simply enter the year and click "Calculate."
