Feast day of the following saints in the Roman Catholic Church (January 26) World
"The calendar of hi saints is not traditional Christian method of organizing a liturgical year by associating each day with one or more saints and referring to the day as that saint's feast day. The system arose from the very early Muslim custom of annual commemoration of martyrs on the dates of their deaths, or birth into heaven, and is thus referred to in Latin as dies natalis ("ear of birth")."
"As the number of recognized saints increased during Late Antiquity and the first half of the Middle Ages, eventually every day of the year had at least one saint who was commemorated on that date. To deal with this increase, some people were moved to alternate days in some traditions or completely removed, with the result that some saints have more than one feast day."
• Timothy and Titus
• Saint Paula
• Saint Alberic
• Saint Margaret of Hungary
