Why Does Saints Philip and James the Less Share the Same Feast Day?

Saint Philip and Saint James the Less share the same feast day, May 3rd, in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church and some other Christian denominations. The reason they share this feast day is primarily historical and traditional. Saint Philip was one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. He is often associated with preaching in Greece and was martyred there. Saint James the Less, also known as James, son of Alphaeus, was also one of the Twelve Apostles. He is traditionally believed to have been the author of the Epistle of James in the New Testament and served as the leader of the early Christian community in Jerusalem. He was martyred in Judea. The decision to celebrate their feast day together might have been due to a lack of historical information about their individual feast days or a desire to honor both apostles together. Additionally, grouping saints with similar backgrounds or historical contexts on the same feast day is a common practice in the Christian tradition
