I love this, and thanks to Ye Olde Motherboarde for compiling the calendar!
Can we add the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25) or is this strictly about individual days?
Apologies if this question has been asked in former years, I'm still rather new!

Thanks for that.
But you left "England" on the end. Whatever the status of Cornwall now, in Piran's time Cornwall was NOT England.
But thanks for correcting his name.
