Palindromic dates are those in which, when we read the numbers backwards, it remains the same as when we read it normally. Thus, the date 2/22/22 is very important, because in addition to being a palindromic date, it also fell on a Tuesday, which is considered day 2, if we take into account the literal translation of English 'Twosday', which is a pun with Tuesday (Tuesday).
This pattern hasn't happened since 2011, when the date 11/11/11 happened, which was even more special for being a six-digit palindrome. For University of Portland electrical engineering professor Aziz Inan, who is a huge enthusiast and studies palindrome dates for 14 years, “dates have a magical power in terms of getting people's attention, no matter the age".

And as these dates are considered super special, many people believe they can bring luck and good vibes. As a result, Las Vegas had full chapels to perform weddings on this date. To give you an idea, on November 11, 2011, more than 3,500 weddings were held in the city.
In California, more precisely in Sacramento, a ceremony was held where 222 couples were married, starting at 2 pm and ending at exactly 2:22 pm.
In the US, coincidentally, the date fell on Margarita Day, which made bars carry out several drink promotions. And Google was not left out, as when typing the date in the search bar, the message “Happy Twosday 2 you!”
Do you have any special traditions for dates like this? Believing or not in the energy of palindromic dates, we have to agree that it is a very interesting event, and that is why it calls everyone's attention, as Inan says.
