Have you checked the day of the week as well as the numerical date? According to my understanding, the massacre STILL occurred on 'Good Friday March 22, 1621/22. [correction requested?]. To reiterate: The 1621 year = Old Julian Calendar date [which was the Calendar date used at the time of the massacre when the 12 month year consisted of months from March 25 of one year to March 25 of the next year]. The 1622 year = New Gregorian Calendar date [which wasn't adopted until 1752, therefore NOT in use at the time of the massacre, but currently in use and, of course, the 12 months of a year are from January 1 to January 1.
