sixty-two holiday almanacs.
everyone's year, in one sky.
twenty countries and forty-two faiths and traditions come with zenith calendar — each one a layer you can light or leave, every holiday explained in its own tradition's words, every date copied from a published calendar.
your starting sky.
the first thing a new install asks is whose holidays you keep. your phone's own country is already switched on — read from your language setting, so english (india) starts with india and a phone set to china starts with china.
open a faith to see its branches, switch on the ones you live by, and tap begin. everything you leave off waits in the archive, whole and locked, until the day you want it.
- countries, shown open, each with its flag
- faiths in five groups that open with a tap
- western and vedic astrology, if you follow either
twenty countries.
public holidays · as each government publishes themforty-two faiths and traditions.
every group that keeps its own dates gets its own almanacchristian churches
13the catholic almanac stands whole — its own easter, its own christmas — so you light the church you belong to, not a base plus an add-on.
muslim communities
7sunni and shia apart, beside five more communities that keep their own dates. where a community fixes a month only once it is announced, its days appear only then — never guessed.
buddhist reckonings
10each country's buddhist calendar falls on its own days, so each has its own almanac.
hindu
2more faiths and traditions
10daoist temple days, taoist folk festivals and china's official days off are three different things — so they are three different almanacs.
every day explains itself.
every holiday in all sixty-two carries three short paragraphs: what it is, where it comes from as its own tradition tells it, and how it is kept. tap a day, tap the holiday, and read.
christmas · catholic
what it is. the nativity of the lord, the birth of jesus christ at bethlehem, god made man. after easter it is the greatest feast of the year, and it opens the christmas season, which runs to the baptism of the lord.
dates you can trust.
published, never guessed
every date is copied from a published calendar — a government gazette, a faith body's own calendar — or follows a published rule from a published date. nothing is worked out on your phone.
ends where the record ends
moving days run as far as 2045 where the source publishes that far, and stop where it stops. a year past the record shows nothing rather than a wrong day.
says who publishes it
each almanac's page names who publishes its dates, whose reckoning it follows, and where a day may shift once the moon is seen.
locked, so nothing slips
every shipped almanac arrives locked, so nothing changes by accident. unlock one and it is yours to rename, recolour or add to.
free, every one
none of the sixty-two counts toward your three free almanacs. light all of them and it costs nothing.
a layer, not a list
holidays ride the year's ring beside your own days. tap a chip to eclipse a layer, and it steps aside without being deleted.
