Day 1 : 1st day of Spring, vernal equinox. (Theyalan 5/2/ST)
Day 71 : 1st day of Summer, High Holy Day of Yelm, and summer "solstice".
(Fire/Harmony/Fire.)
Day 141 : 1st day of Autumn, HHD of Lodril, autumnal equinox.
(Fire/Fertility/Earth.)
Day 211 : 1st day of Winter, and winter "solstice".
(Fire/Movement/Dark.)
Non-days 281-294: Gbaji chaos food.
Day 1 may well be sacred to Ariria (aka Provaria); Days 211 and 280 are disappointingly blank on the GoG Gloranthan Calendar. I'm tempted to nominate Antirius for the first, and perhaps Shargash for the second.
Not this effectively skews both the year a little, as compared to the Theyalan one (Sacred Time, for instance, is two days "out"; I'd even considered a midwinter ST, but this got Gregged At Birth), and also makes the equinoxes and solstices a bit off-kilter for the "whole" year: not sure if this is a Bug or a Feature; given the Wacky (1) nature of Gloranthan astronomy, could be either.
Movably,
Alex.
