Leap year starting on Thursday

A leap year starting on Thursday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes 29 February) that begins on Thursday 1 January, and ends on Friday 31 December.

This is the only leap year with three occurrences of Tuesday the 13th: those three in this leap year occur three months (13 weeks) apart: in January, April, and July.

Common years starting on Monday share this characteristic, in the months of February, March, and November.

Leap years that begin on Thursday, along with those starting on Monday and Saturday, occur least frequently: 13 out of 97 (≈ 13.402%) total leap years in a 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar.

That means that moveable holidays may occur one calendar week later than otherwise possible, e.g. Gregorian Easter Sunday in week 17 in years when it falls on April 25 and which are also leap years, falling on week 16 in common years.
