St. Anastasia is not the only saint to share the celebration of Our Lord's Birth, December 25. Here are some others.

Adalsindis of Hamay

Alburga of Wilton

Eugenia of Rome

Fulk of Toulouse

Jacopone da Todi

Martyrs of Nicomedia

Matthew of Albano

Michael Nakashima

Nera

Peter Nolasco

Romulus

There are thousands and thousands of recognized saints and only 365 days each year. The Church needs to "squeeze in" saints to the calendar where ever it can. I guess this is sort of an example of "over booking"?
