Best Answer

Bridget of Ireland died on February 1, 523, at Kildare, Ireland, of natural causes. When the date a saint died is known, that is frequently used as the feast date but that is not a rule carved in stone. Any date may be chosen. Remember, there are more than ten thousand named saints and only 365 days in a year.

Saint David's Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March each year. The date of March 1st was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebrated by followers since then. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century.
