Best Answer

The day of a saint's feast is sometimes the commemoration of the day they died or some other important event in their lives. Other days are picked somewhat randomly, as in the case of John the Apostle as we know neither the date of his birth or of his death. On any day of the year there may be 20 or more saints memorialized.
