A patronal feast or patronal festival is a yearly celebration dedicated, in countries influenced by Christianity, to the "heavenly advocate" or "patron" of the location holding the festival, who is a saint or virgin. The day of this celebration is called patronal feast day, patronal day or patron day of said location.
Patronal festivals may reflect national holidays , but they usually reflect the celebration of a single city or town.In larger cities, there may even be several festivals, usually about the patron saint of the local parish.
