The only room Saint's Day According to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church indulgence enables the remission of punishment for sins after sacramental absolution. In all cases it has to be preceded by penitence and the fulfilment of imposed conditions. Indulgence can be associated with feasts or churches, shrines or pilgrimages. The feast of a church's patron saint is called the Saints Day. Family members from far and wide were invited to mass followed by a festive feast. It was costumary to buy small presents at the fair organised in the Saints Day.
