I recently looked at the month of October in more than a dozen calendars (Christian and non-Christian, from different publishers, etc.). All of them mention Halloween on October 31. None mention Reformation Day. Surely some calendars do mention it, but I don't remember ever seeing it in the many calendars I've looked at over the years. Some of the calendars I recently went through mention about ten holidays in the month, including as many as three holidays on a single day. All of them have more than enough space to include a reference to Reformation Day. None mention it. Here are some of the holidays they do mention for October:
United Nations Day
Health and Sports Day (Japan)
Breast Cancer Awareness Day
National Boss Day
World Animal Day
National Children's Day
Labour Day (New Zealand)
Sweetest Day
Bank Holiday (Ireland)
Eid-al-Adha
Mother-In-Law Day
Indigenous People's Day
"Those preachers whose voices were clear and mighty for truth during life continue to preach in their graves. Being dead, they yet speak; and whether men put their ears to their tombs or not, they cannot but hear them." (Charles Spurgeon, cited in The C.H. Spurgeon Collection [Albany, Oregon: AGES Software, 1998], A Biography Pictoral Of C.H. Spurgeon, 3)
