International translation day is an unofficial holiday that recognizes language professionals and the work that they do; which plays a crucial role in bringing nations together in order to start a dialogue, build relationships and embolden world peace. Celebrated on September 30, the holiday falls on the same day as the feast of St. Jerome- the Bible translator who is considered the patron saint of translators. A priest from northern Italy, St. Jerome i known for translating the bible from the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament into Latin. The feast is a Christian holiday celebrated in Italy and places around the world with a heavy Italian influence- like the North End in Boston and Little Italy in New York City.
