According to Dr. Fred Sanders, resident theologian of the Torrey Honors Institute at Biola University, St. Athanasius most likely wrote his famous Easter letter of 367 on January 7th. It is in this letter (almost as a passing thought) that Athanasius nearly defines the Canon as we (Protestants) have it today.

hurray for canon day!
He didn't go by the Gregorian Calander. So the dating might be off by some days.
But then again, I don't know how he calculated it.
