Celebrate The Feast Days with us.

What is This?

The Feast Days is an NFT/multimedia project created to celebrate the saints named in the Lesser Feasts and Fasts of the Episcopal Church. Through NFTs, a Discord community, and social media posts, we hope to encourage a love of modern art and iconography, provide an entry point into interesting new technologies, support Christian artists and nonprofits, and help form lives through the study of notable exemplars of the Christian faith.

What is a Feast Day?

Since ancient times, Christians “have honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith, even at the cost of their lives.”

Alongside major Holy Days (like Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost) the Episcopal Church (and much of the church at large) celebrates “lesser feasts” to recognize those honored men and women. The 2022 edition of Lesser Feasts and Fasts, quoted verbatim throughout this project, is “intended to reflect a balance of women and men, orders of ministry, races and ethnicities, and historical time periods.”

What is an NFT?

An NFT is a Non-Fungible Token, a unique digital item stored on a blockchain. NFTs can represent almost anything and serve as a digital record of ownership and are sold on marketplaces like OpenSea, LooksRare, Rarible, and Nifty Gateway. Most popular in 2021 and 2022 when prices soared to unsustainable heights, NFTs still provide digital options for collectors and for artists looking to easily distribute their work.

How do I buy a Feast Day NFT?

Our collection is most easily available on OpenSea, and if you are familiar with the terminology, you will need an Ethereum wallet and just 0.01 ETH plus gas to buy one. If you are new to NFTs, join our Discord and ask some questions. We are eager to help you understand this confusing new world.

What if I’m not interested in NFTs?

That’s okay! You’re welcome to enjoy the content created here on TheFeastDays.com free of charge… screenshot to your heart’s content! You can also join the Discord community and follow us on Facebook for regular reminders of the Lesser Feasts and Fasts throughout the year. We’re also working on prints and stickers of the saints; look for those in the near future.

If you would like to donate something as a way of thanks for this website and ministry and are not interested in adding to a personal NFT collection, simply give to (and plug into!) your local place of worship.

Who created this project?

While studying at Nazarene Theological Seminary, two students, Fr. John Wakefield and Rev. Kirsten Kohr, put this project together for a capstone assignment in a class entitled “Theology and Technology.” Interested in the way new technologies simultaneously claim to create community and also form the user of said technologies, John used his experience with NFTs and with the traditions of the Episcopal Church to put the foundation of the project (and this website) together. Kirsten brought her experience with digital art and a newfound love of iconography to make the entire project possible.
