#HappyBirthday to the #May23 #BirthdayCohort (with #DrewCarey @DrewFromTV & #TimRobinson @iTYSL & ... you?) on Bahá’í's #DeclarationOfTheBab (Báb, pronounced BOB) Day @Bahai_Teachings | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass @ChinaHighlights

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'

That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like today's Declaration of The #Bab (Báb) Day.

That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...

The word “Báb” is built on ancient words that mean Gate (the name of the city Babel--though they say it means "Confusion" (Babble)--actually meant "Gate of God" originally).

I'nm curious about the Bahá’í faith, so I'll 'take notes on it' a little later; but first ...

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Gemini (Taurus-echo fading) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: JEOPARDY!-winning author Ken Jennings, Drew Carey, Joan Collins, chess-champion Anatoly Karpov, singer Rosemary Clooney, singer Jewel, William Barr, Carl Linnaeus (who formalized 'binomial nomenclature' (the modern system of naming organisms)), comedian (and fellow Rooster-Year Birth) Tim Robinson ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)

(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
 about them) in the comments, thanks)

And I Wonder What Saints' Day my Heart of the Nation calendar says this is:

no Saint mentioned; but (in 2021) it's Pentecost Sunday, with the clergy wearing Red Vestments
