Making posts for 'holidays that fall on people's birthdays,' I run into a lot of holidays that I shouldn't really attach to 'birthdays' because they're not always on the same day. Usually, that's because the holiday is "the nth 'Day of the Week' of 'that month'" (rather than "a Month and Date"); but sometimes it's because the holiday is ON A DIFFERENT CALENDAR! (usually the Jewish calendar).
TimeAndDate explains the Gregorian (or you might call it the Western-, Christian-, International-, Modern-) Calendar in a report linked through 'that word' below, with links in the margin leading to most of the other calendars (Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, etc.);
but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Aligning” is built on ancient words that mean "to Line To" (Sync-up the confused crowd by |Reducing it to a Straight |Line, |Copulation for Canines).
So you know the Gregorian Calendar (the one The Modern World uses), which The World switched-to when the Julian Calendar fell too far behind/ahead---tho the Gregorian Calendar is one day off ever 3623 years.

Certain cultures use different calendars as-well/instead:
There's a calendar for
- Jews - a lunisolar calendar (with months counted according the moon and days according to the sun?)
- Hindus
- Buddhists
- Muslims
- Persians
- Chinese
- Coptics
- Ethiopians
- Julians (Revised)
- Mayans
- ... there was also mention of a Bahai Calendar ...
