As Colorado continues to see an influx of migrants, the state celebrates a new figure in place of Christopher Columbus.
In 2020, Gov. Jared Polis replaced Columbus Day with Cabrini Day, in honor of Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Catholic patron saint of immigrants.
Cabrini Day, which falls on the first Monday in October, is the first paid state holiday in the country honoring a woman. Italian-born Cabrini worked to help the poor, the sick, and immigrants across the world. In 1910, she purchased land on Lookout Mountain in Colorado, where she built a convent and a camp for orphan girls. Today, that site is home to a shrine in her honor, and a newly renovated chapel.
