Christian feast day: John Bunyan (Episcopal Church)

John Bunyan was an English writer and nonconformist preacher. He is best remembered as the author of the Christian allegory The Pilgrim's Progress, which also became an influential literary model. In addition to The Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan wrote nearly sixty titles, many of them expanded sermons.

The Calendar of the Church Year is the liturgical calendar of the United States Episcopal Church. It is found in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and in Lesser Feasts and Fasts, with additions made at recent General Conventions.
