Philomenus across traditions
Each church keeps its own calendar, so the same saint can be honored on different days.
Why do dates differ?
Churches follow different calendars. The Roman Catholic Church uses the Gregorian calendar; Orthodox churches use either the Revised Julian calendar or the older Julian calendar, which currently runs 13 days behind; and the Coptic Church keeps its own Coptic calendar. A saint can also be honored on more than one day, for example the day of death and the day their relics were moved.
