The King’s Feast is celebrated on November 15, a day that commemorates the feast of Saint Leopold and the feast of Saint Albert, in the German Liturgical and Roman Catholic calendars. Traditionally, a Te Deum is sung and also, a private religious service is held. The day has been celebrated annually since 1866, when Leopold II declared it. Since the birth of the Belgian State, 3 of 7 kings have been named Leopold and another two, Albert. |
