Calendrical pareidolia is the phenomenon of responding to a calendar-based stimulus by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists (pareidolia):
Calendrical stimuli include events such as births and deaths, occurring on the same day in the calendar but otherwise evidencing no causal relationship — and yet of interest.
This article was originally titled Calendrical coincidences.
