Bible Day is celebrated annually on September 30th
Bible Day is celebrated annually on September 30th among Catholic Christians. It is believed that this celebration arose in honor of the figure of Saint Jerome, known as the first translator of the Bible into Vulgar Latin, popularizing its content. Saint Jerome died on September 30, 420. This date, of a religious nature, aims to stimulate reflection among Catholics, encouraging the constant study of the "Word of God" present in the Bible. For Catholic Christians, the Bible is like a guide of teachings that guide the way of life to be followed by the faithful, presenting chronicles, parables and predictions made by prophets about the Apocalypse. Although there is no official celebration designated as Bible Day in the Catholic tradition, Saint Jerome and his contribution to the translation of the Scriptures are remembered especially on this date.
