*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.” The Wiki article, [[Moveable and Fixed Feast Day Calendars for Germany|'''Moveable and Fixed Feast Day Calendars for Germany,''']] provides charts for converting feast days given in church records to regular Julian and Gregorian calendar dates. | |||
