Personal veneration is available in the Chapel during the hour before the 11:30 a.m. Mass, offering quiet time for prayer and reflection.

St. Anastasia’s feast day is on December 25. In honor of her life and witness, the National Shrine will bring her relic from the Apparition Oratory to the Apparition Chapel for veneration that day.

All are welcome to attend and pray with this great Saint on her Feast Day!

St. Anastasia is honored as an early Christian martyr who remained faithful to Christ during times of persecution. Known for her compassion, she cared for imprisoned Christians and those suffering for their faith. Her courage and charity continue to inspire the faithful to remain steadfast in their devotion to Christ.
