Sorry, let me clarify - historical biblical holidays. Just wanted to know if anyone does this.

By the way, today (May 6) is the day to honor 'in a special way' the following 'saintly' folks:

Bl. Antony Middleton and Bl. Edward Jones (English and Welsh, priests, martyred [hanged] by Elizabethans in 1590)
St. Benedicta (Roman, nun, 6th century)
Bl. Bonizella Piccolomini (Italian, widow, served the poor, d. 1300)
St. Colman Mac Ui Cluasigh of Cork (Irish, professor, 7th century)
St. Edbert of Lindisfarne (English, Benedictine monk, bishop, d. 698)
St. Evodius of Antioch (Israelite, disciple of Jesus, bishop in Syria [succeeding St. Peter], martyred c. 69)
Sts. Heliodorus, Venustus, and 75 companions (African and Italian, martyred in 3rd century)
St. Justus (French, bishop)
St. Lucius of Cyrene (Syrian, teacher, bishop in North Africa, 1st century)
St. Petronax of Monte Cassino (Italian, Benedictine abbot, c. 747)
St. Protogenes of Carrhae (Syrian, bishop, 4th century)
Bl. Prudentia Castori (Italian, Augustinian abbess, d. 1492)
St. Theodotus of Cyrenia (Cypriot, bishop, c. 325)

You can add that to your list of things to do today...
