- In the Bible, 30 is often the age at which people begin their ministries - Ezekiel, St Paul, John the Baptist and of course Jesus were all 30 years old when their ministries started.

That said, They did have a February 30 in Sweden in 1712 during the changeover from the Julian to Gregorian Calendars. The Swedes decided to achieve this by not having leap days for 40 years. However, they got distracted by a war and forgot to omit the leap day a couple of times - so they went back to the Julian calendar to start again, and added an extra leap day in 1712 to correct the mistake. Hence there was a February 30.
