Those crons fire on 25 May and every Sunday.
There is similar example in "man crontab".
Try replacing the day-of-week parameter with an "*" if you want the cron to execute annually on 25 May.
By the way 25 May 2009 is a Monday (it was a Sunday in 2008).

DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions
-- more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
