Devotional Information:

According to the Holy See’s Directory on Popular Piety:

20. The rhythm associated with the change from day to night, from one month to another, or of the seasons is often associated with various forms of popular piety. Such can also be true of particular days recalling joyous or tragic personal or community events. Above all, the “the feast days”, withe their preparations for various religious manifestations, have contributed much in forging the traditions peculiar to a given community.
