National Hermit Day falls fairly close to the feast day in the Catholic church that is celebrated in honor of Saint Colman mac Duagh, which is celebrated on October 27.
Born in county Galway, Ireland, St. Colman was an Irish holy man who lived in the 6th century. He took a seven year hermitage where he lived in solitude in the Burren Forest with the purpose of communing with God, which would fit nicely with the definition of a hermit.
Celebrated just two days after St. Colman’s feast day, National Hermit Day can be used to give inspiration to those who are in deep need of some time to recharge and regenerate without the noise and chaos of the modern world.
Spend the Day Alone
For some introverted people the idea of spending an entire day alone may feel like a dream come true. And it’s for these people that National Hermit Day was established. One of the best ways to do so might be to get out into nature, as many people find that spending time in nature is a perfect way to recharge, getting away from the hubbub of daily life. Though it may not be necessary to go so far as actually living in a cave!
