Feast of St Peter and St Paul 2025, 2026 and 2027 in Vatican City
On 29 June, Vatican City celebrates the Feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul as a public holiday. Both the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul were martyred in Rome, and today, they are “joint patron saints” of the city of Rome under Roman Catholic tradition. Thus, the two saints are remembered on a single holiday.
