Calendar

When it is kept

The days in the year its record gives. A day, not a date: it says nothing about when the observance began.

What this means

The days in the year Wikidata records for Decollation of John the Baptist, each in the calendar it names: a month of another calendar is shown as recorded and never converted. Two days are two statements — often two traditions’ days — and are not joined into a span. It does not imply when the festival began, or that every tradition keeping it keeps this day.
