∙ 13y agoThere are thousands and thousands of saints and each is given a feast day. There are only 365 days in a year. That means that a saint may share his day with a dozen or more other saints. Usually a saint is given the date of his/her death as the Memorial Day. However, when we do not know the date, they can be assigned any day. I am sure such was the case with St. David of Wales as we do not know the date of his entry into heaven. He has to share March 1 with all these other saints.
