The feast day of Saint David the King (the biblical King David, prophet, psalmist, and ancestor of Jesus Christ) is December 29 in the Roman Catholic tradition. This date appears in the Roman Martyrology and is observed in various places, placing it shortly after Christmas to highlight David's role in the genealogy of Christ ( as "son of David"). Some local Catholic calendars also mark it on this day with proper Mass texts emphasizing his kingship, repentance, and prophetic status. St. David the King, pray for us ♥️
