The more religious of Italians honor the many feast daysof the Roman Catholic Church. For example, the saint for whom one may be named has a certain designated day of remembrance year after year. Traditionally, the saint's day even may be celebrated as the birthday of the bearer of that saint's name. Except in the case of more traditional Catholic populations, Canadians tend not to recognize such religious feast days or to celebrate them through religious services, readings, or fastings.
