National calendars of the Roman Rite explained

National calendars of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church are lists of saints' feast days and other liturgical celebrations, organized by calendar date, that apply to those within the nation or nations to which each calendar applies who worship according to the Roman Rite of the Latin Church. Such calendars are "particular calendars" that build off of the General Roman Calendar. National calendars primarily add feast days of saints whose lives profoundly affected the particular nation in question, or whose veneration is especially prevalent there.
