It is relatively easy to compute the exact dates for the next N years (or check Wikipedia). Given that Google has various random doodles for birthdays, anniversaries etc. that do not repeat every year, I don’t think it would be difficult to have N one-off doodles for the next N years.

- claudius 14y agoUse the Julian calendar in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and the Gregorian in the West? With country-level resolution, it should not be too difficult to choose the appropriate date – if everything else fails, you can likely pin it to the relevant bank holidays in the country.
