Sanctification of the Sun
Before the sanctification of the Sun of 2009, I heard rumors about the rarity of it falling out on the Passover Eve. I used my code for the Jewish calendar calculations (www.jewish-calendar.org) to list all the relevant dates and calculate the frequencies. Results were published at the time as a Google Document and are reproduced here unchanged.
From the creation of the world until the end of the sixth millennium, there are 214 cycles of the sanctification of the Sun. The dates fall from Adar 10 to Nissan 26.
Frequencies
Number of times sanctification falls on a particular day of the month are tabulated below. Turns out, only 27 days in Adar and Nissan have the sanctification of the Sun happen on them at least once. It never happens on Passover. It happens more often than on the Passover Eve on 7 days.
