- My mother grew up Catholic and I have an old book of saints days
- of hers (In German). Of course it has saints made since the end of our
- period, but most of them are pretty old. It's arranged by calendar day with
- a page about the feast or saint's days that fall on that day.
- I also remember reading a similar period book for a history class -
- I was amused to discover that I was born on the feast of the Circumcision
- (the eighth day after Christmas ;)
- Check out your local religious bookstore.
