Another death knell to the Soviet Empire and its vassal states.
 
1889: Former White Stockings baseball player Billy Sunday preaches his first evangelistic sermon in Chicago. By the time he died in 1935, he had preached to an estimated 100 million people, and about 1 million "walked the sawdust trail" to become Christians at his invitation.
 
1678: Puritan preacher John Bunyan publishes The Pilgrim's Progress, the best-selling book (apart from the Bible) in history. The allegorical tale, which describes Bunyan's own conversion process, begins, "I saw a man clothed with rags … a book in his hand and a great burden upon his back".

Fair point, but if the events listed were recorded as happening on those dates, they happened on those dates.
For instance, Mary Tudor was born on February 18, 1516 -- it's just that February 18, 1516 was a bit less than two weeks farther from the winter solstice and closer to the spring equinox than February 18 is now.
 
1906: Black itinerant evangelist William J. Seymour arrives in Los Angeles to lead a Holiness mission. The group grew larger as word spread of its revival meetings and speaking in tongues, and it eventually moved to a rundown building on Azusa Street.
