It has to do with religion to some extent, but the crucial thing is
that it is a calendar.  It consists of names of days.

I think we're using the word "cite" with two different meanings, both
valid.  We're talking about including in Emacs the names of certain biblical
texts, right?

                                           Where do we draw the line?

The natural place would be between
(1) identifications/names of specific days, and
(2) specific things some groups customarily DO on specific named days.
The first is part of the calendar; the second is an adjunct used with
the calendar.
