The 5 Epagomenal Days
The 5 Epagomenal Days (6 during leap years) were inserted into the Egyptian Calendar which had been 360 days long. These days were reserved as birthdays for the gods. The first, third, and fifth of these days were considered unlucky by the Egyptians.
They are as follows:
- July 27 - 1st Epagomenal Day - Birthday of Osiris
- July 28 - 2nd Epagomenal Day - Birthday of Horus
- July 29 - 3rd Epagomenal Day - Birthday of Set
- July 30 - 4th Epagomenal Day - Birthday of Isis
- July 31 - 5th Epagomenal Day - Birthday of Nephthys
Note:
These dates come from Traci de Regulla in The Mysteries of Isis
