The Feast of Saint James is celebrated on July 25 each year in honor of Saint James the Greater, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. This day commemorates his martyrdom and is significant in various Christian traditions, particularly within the Catholic Church. Many communities hold special masses and processions to mark the occasion. In addition to its religious significance, the feast is also associated with the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route leading to the shrine of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Pilgrims often participate in festivities, enjoying local food and music, making it a vibrant cultural event as well.
