On Easter Sunday of all days?

What does "of all days" mean? Does it mean "recently"?

Context:

Sir, Under the gleeful headline 'God comes a poor Second
before the Majesty of Science', your science correspondent
reported (on Easter Sunday of all days) how Richard
Dawkins 'inflicted grievous intellectual harm' on the
Archbishop of York in a debate on science and religion.
We were told of 'smugly smiling atheists' and 'Lions 10;
Christians nil'.

Thanks.
Does '*** comes a poor Second before the Majesty of Science' mean 'The Majesty of Science wins the first place; *** wins a poor Second place'?
