Feast of St. Ursula
The Feast of St. Ursula is celebrated on October 21 each year. It honors St. Ursula, a legendary Christian martyr who, according to tradition, was the daughter of a British king. She is often depicted with a group of 11,000 virgins who were said to have accompanied her on a pilgrimage to Rome, where they were martyred.
The feast day is observed in various Christian denominations, particularly within the Roman Catholic Church. Celebrations may include special masses, prayers, and processions. St. Ursula is recognized as the patron saint of students, educators, and young women, symbolizing courage and faith.
