# Fixed civil-calendar dates (MM-DD) that anchor part of the temporal cycle # and don't move with Easter at all — unlike easter-offsets.yml. # # Deliberately NOT covering Advent or the Sundays after Epiphany here, even # though they're "near" these fixed points — both have a wrinkle that isn't # a plain fixed date: # - Advent's start is "the Sunday nearest Nov 30" (equivalently, the 4th # Sunday before Christmas) — a nearest-weekday-to-a-fixed-date rule, not # a fixed date or a numeric offset. # - Epiphanytide's *start* is fixed (Jan 6), but its *length* is secretly # Easter-dependent: how many Sundays after Epiphany you get before # Septuagesima cuts in varies with how early Easter falls that year — # i.e. this file's fixed end and easter-offsets.yml's Septuagesima # start have to arbitrate a boundary at resolution time. # Both are milestone 4 occurrence-resolution logic, not data-file entries. dates: "12-25": christmas-day "01-06": epiphany
