January 3

Time favors builders. January 3 threads together a Roman coup on the frozen Rhine, Luther’s break with Rome, a midnight dash at Princeton, and the quiet paperwork that turned Alaska into a star on the flag. The date births Tolkien, crowns a space-age watch, incorporates a little California garage company called Apple, and drops a robot on the Moon’s far side. It also remembers grief—air disasters, uprisings, and a bombed memorial—because history is honest or it’s marketing.

This volume in the Echoes series collects 50 meticulously curated moments that happened on January 3, each paired with a clean, historically accurate adult coloring prompt engineered for zero shading and a true white background. Open it anywhere: a treaty table, a bridge caisson, a lunar crater—each page is a doorway. If this is your day, it’s not just another box on a calendar; it’s a blueprint with a pulse.
