Today is the feast day of Saint Dismas, the "good thief" and patron saint of thieves and criminals (among others). It's his feast day because the 25th of March is the traditional date given for the day that he died: the day of the Crucifixion. Today is also Good Friday, the day that the Catholic Church (and most Christians following Western practices) traditionally celebrates as the day of the Crucifixion. These two celebrations coinciding on the day only happens a couple times a century. The last time it happened was 2005. After today, it won't happen again until 2157 (unless there is some major change to our calendar between now and then).
I'm not saying that there's anything mystical about this arrangement--time, after all, is a human-made construct. I don't think any magical portals or hidden tombs will be opening due to this rare alignment (although that could make for a cool Davinci Code-esque story). I just noticed this coincidence and decided to share it.
You're welcome.
