Why Does Saint Augustine Have Two Feast Days?

 

“Take it and read, take it and read.”

 

-Saint Augustine, Confessions

 

Trans. R. S. Pine-Coffin, Penguin Classics

 

Why does Saint Augustine have two feast days?

Because he speaks to both the East and West

A little child still says it to us twice

“Take it and read, take it and read.”

                                                         We should listen
