Also a legend, I grew up with, was that April fools day came from the Julian Calendar.
Famous Leap day birthdays, Dinah Shore, and the guy who composed "The William Tell Overture".
Long ago I had a teacher who informed the class that we currently were using the Julian calendar and that it had been created by Pope Julius. None of this, of course, is true.
The calendar is Microsoft Excel incorrectly has the year 1900 as a leap year.
Todays the day girls can ask guys out.
Like Sadie Hawkins.
That’s what I remember about Leap Year when I was young.
“The modern calendar contains 365 days, the actual time it takes for Earth to orbit its star is slightly longer—roughly 365.2421 days. Over decades and centuries that missing quarter of a day per year can add up.”
Missing quarter of a day? Missing? It’s an EXTRA quarter of a day. History.com didn’t learn their math.
When I was a kid, it was called Sadie Hawkins Day. I believe from Little Abner cartoon.

Ezekiel 46:1 exposes the Gregorian and Julian calendars as living on borrowed time..
That bible verse does damage to Islam’s and the Talmud’s calendars too..
Amazing what one bible verse can do. Almost like a smooth stone right to the temple of a giant..
