Feast Day
When Saint John Cantius's feast day was first inserted into the Roman Catholic calendar of saints in 1770, it was initially assigned to 20 October, but in 1969 it was moved to the 23 December, the day before the anniversary of his death, which occurred on Christmas Eve 1473.
Some traditionalist Catholics continue to observe pre-1970 versions of the Roman Calendar: in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite the General Roman Calendar of 1962 is used. Thus, in that liturgical observance his feast day is still celebrated on the 20 October.

Famous quotes containing the words feast and/or day:
“My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.”
—Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)
“As a fond mother, when the day is o’er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
