Why is Saint Thomas Aquinas feast day on January 28?
Originally, the feast date of Thomas Aquinas was on March 7, the day he entered heaven. It is unknown to me the reason for the change. You need to know that there are thousands and thousands of saints and each one has a specific feast day. That means that, on any given day, there may be dozens of saints who are celebrated that same day.
How do you determine who is your patron saint?
Your primary patron saint is that saint for whom you have been named. You also have additional patron saints and those are the saints whose memorials are celebrated on your birthday. The Calendar of Saints is available by doing an Internet search and lists all the saints who have their feast day on any particular day of the year.
Does every saint have a feast day?
No. There are thousands of saints, so it would be impossible for every single one of them to have their own feast day (unless we decided to devote each day of the calendar to several different saints). Instead, only those saints who had the greatest impact on the Church or around whom a fervent devotion has grown are celebrated with feast days in the liturgical calendar.
