Feast of the Holy Sovereigns
- Feast of the Holy Sovereigns
The Feast of the Holy Sovereigns is celebrated annually on November 28. A tradition of the defunct Anglican Church of Hawaii, it is observed by the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii. The feast celebrates the founders of the Anglican Church of Hawaii, also called the Hawaii Reformed Catholic Church, the monarchs of the Hawaiian Kingdom Kamehameha IV and Emma.
The rest of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America observes this as the feast day of Kamehameha and Emma, King and Queen of Hawaii, but does not use the name "Feast of the Holy Sovereigns".
