'Tis the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle: Chair-link ūnus, Chair-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:

This feast commemorates Christ's choosing Peter to sit in his place as the servant-authority of the whole Church. Like the committee chair, this chair refers to the occupant, not the furniture.

Quoth the Holy Family bulletin:

Since the fourth century, the feast of the Chair of Peter has been celebrated at Rome as a sign of the unity of the Church founded upon that apostle.

'Tis also the feast of Saint Margaret of Cortona, T.O.S.F. (1247-1297): Saint-link ūna, Saint-link duae, & Wikipedia-link.
