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)?'

Today's 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 ...
And "Juneteenth" (a popular name for "the date June 19th") is the day (some two-and-a-half years after Lincoln signed The Emancipation Proclamation) when Federal Troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and U.S. General Gordon Granger read General Orders No. 3: "The people of Texas are Informed that--in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, All Slaves Are Free."

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating the Solemnity of THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (Corpus Christi ... Optional Memorials for St. Romauld & The Blessed Virgin Mary in past years), with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Solemnity
