Mk 6:21a ... And having-come-about a-day well-timed, ...

Verse 21 has 5 phrases and 22 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 4 narrator words, ... Kai genomenēs hēmeras eukairou (And having-come-about a-day well-timed, ...)

The 4 words are bottom up. The text says "hēmeras eukairou" (a well timed day). This may have been a significant day for Herod. A day with numerical significance. The word "eukairou" (good timed) comes from the adjective "eu" (good) signifying the color white, and the abstract noun "kairos" (time) the sign of a triangle. The sign for "a day" is a white christ circle. The two signs together intensify each other which could mean a special anniversary such as a new decades birthday.
