All saints get a special day. Each saint is assigned a feast day during the year. It just happens that Saint Patrick is better known than many of the other saints.
Every known saint is assigned a feast day. The feast of Saint Patrick is March 17 which some believe is the day of his death.
There are many but the best known is Saint Patrick of Ireland.
The feast day of the saint is the same as the saint's day. For example, the Feast of St. Patrick is also known as St. Patrick's Day - March 17.
A number of saints share December 26 as a feast day but the best known is Saint Stephen, Deacon and Martyr.
