#birthdates

A little while back, I reblogged a post about Dick Grayson's birthday and how he has three of them...or four, if you count the one from the Young Justice cartoon series.

Well, I've got something related to that. Sometimes I've mentioned a book called The Atlas of the DC Universe (1990). Great little book. In a similar vein, in 1976 there was this thing released called the Super DC Calendar. It was a regular calendar, but filled with various character birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

It's not exactly easy to find, but with patience, somebody found it and copied all the data.

And here it is.

Isn't that awesome? It even has some additional dates added on as well. According to this calendar, Bruce Wayne's birthday is February 19th (backed up by Batman Family #11 (1977)). Lois Lane's birthday is August 17th, the day after Jason Todd's, etc., etc.

Seriously, why doesn't DC do things like this anymore? I think stuff like this or the atlas are really cool. Hell, did you know they once put out encyclopedias of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman? Circa 2008. I have all three and they're great. You'd still cross reference with the DC Database, and the articles don't have the specific references in the text because that would disrupt readability, but they're great ways to start.

Why doesn't DC do that more? Oh, wait, that would mean having to go through their own mess of continuity. Right...

Still, just...dates on the calendar would be nice. Not even years, just days. Hmph.

Here are a few other dates to add to that list.

Cassandra Cain's birthday is January 26th (same year as Jason). Established in Batgirl 2003 #37.

Boston Brand's murder date is technically incorrect, as Strange Adventures #209 from February 1968 puts it as September 10, not August 10th.

Kate and Beth Kane were once given a birthday of March 21st. Of course, that was only thrown at at random by one of her writers (Joshua Williamson III) on Twitter. Does that really qualify it as canon? I mean, it is one of her writers, but...for some reason I find myself not entirely sure.

Eh, let's count it.

If you were born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st... this is a MUST-SEE! 💥 These special birthdates make you the ultimate partner in relationships—loyal, stable, and dependable! Whether it's love, friendships, or work, you bring the commitment everyone craves. 🔮✨

Birthdate: November 30th, 1480?

We don't really know when Armand was born.

We can't even really be sure of the year or the time of year. We know he was born in Podil, Kyiv, Ukraine. The first name we know for him is Andrei which is an extremely common name.

However, if you assume that Armand's family would've named him after the saint's feast day of his birth or close to his birth it would've been St. Andrew's Day (Andrei).

The Radizwill Chronicles, Andrew the Apostle in Kiev

According to legend, Andrew the Apostle traveled up the Dnieper River and stuck a cross on the site of the current location of St. Andrew's Church of the Apostle in current day Kyiv. He is the patron saint of Ukraine.

St. Andrew's Day is November 30th in Western Christianity. However, Armand is so old that everyone was using the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian calendar, which didn't exist until 1582 and wasn't adopted for any purpose in Ukraine or Russia until ~1920 , plus his family was Eastern Orthodox and the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (associated with the Monastery of the Caves) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery. Anne decided to date stamp the end of his book with January 6th,"Little Christmas" or Theophany.

If we assume a 1480 birthdate, (highly debatable, I don't think it works with what Marius and Armand actually say), November 30, 1480 (Julian) in the is Thursday December 9th, 1480 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

Feast Day- November 30th or December 13th?

Eastern Orthodox churches are currently split between the churches that still use the Old Julian calendar and those who used the Revised Julian calendar (which lines up with the Gregorian calendar for fixed feast days). In the revised Julian calendar, St. Andrew's Day is November 30th.

Churches that follow the old Julian calendar celebrate St. Andrew's Day on November 30th in the old Julian calendar which is December 13th in the Gregorian calendar in the present.

If we assume a 1480 birthdate, (highly debatable, I don't think it works with what Marius and Armand actually say, but a spring birthday in that year does), November 30, 1480 (Julian) is December 9th, 1480 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
