St. Leonard's Day
St. Leonard's Day is celebrated on November 6th each year in honor of St. Leonard, a 6th-century saint known for his work with prisoners and the sick. He is often depicted as a protector of captives and is associated with various miracles, particularly those involving childbirth and healing.
The day is observed in several regions, especially in parts of France and Germany, where local traditions may include church services and community gatherings. In some areas, it is also a time for feasting and celebrating the harvest, reflecting the seasonal changes of late autumn.
