The Most Holy Name of Jesus refers to the sacred name of Jesus Christ, revered in Christianity for its divine power and significance. It embodies the essence of God’s salvation, as Jesus means “God saves” in Hebrew. This name represents the incarnation of God’s love and the ultimate sacrifice for humanity’s redemption. Catholics and many other Christian denominations honour the name with reverence, invoking it in prayers and devotions, particularly through the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3rd. Believers view the name as a source of strength, healing, and spiritual protection.

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has decreed that this is a Holy Day of Memorial (Optional) to be observed in Canada.
