Fascinating ideas here Mark!

According to the Anglo-Saxon Church calendar, 25th March (Ring Destruction Day) was the date of the Crucifixion, the Annunciation, and the last day of Creation. I've always liked that Tolkien chose a date that is all about beginnings, endings, and catastrophic changes.
