According to some religious traditions, Moses was circumcised today (according to the Jewish calendar). According to those who believe he was born on the 7th of Adar I, today would have been the 8th day of his life and thus the day a mohel removed his foreskin.
The text of the Tanakh does not actually make this claim, but extra rabbincial sources (considered sacred by various groups) do.
