“I more see (my ‘brand’ of) “calendrical coincidence” like a somewhat large mnemonic structure/house comprised of 365.25 rooms, one ‘room’ for each full planetary spin as the planet itself makes one full rotation around the sun. Many different ‘events’ get sorted into these individual rooms based first on the day, and then second by the year – historical events, saints days, Holy and Holidays, personal events, etc. I’m realizing it is interesting to “remember” history in this manner, where, instead of ‘analyzing’ events by decade or quarter or half century,for example, analysis is done by a specific day or days cutting through all solar years.”
