Isn't the calendar wonderful since it is based on the presence of our Lord here on Earth. Must drive secular-humanists nuts since they are stuck with it. Of course, they do try to deny it with CE or common era and BCE or before common era. But what is BCE other than the era before Christ, in other words, BC. So we are back where we started. Anno Domini and Before Christ.

Jesus was born between 4 and 6 BC. Because Herod died in 4BC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_Calendar
It was invented in the 1500's.
Jews & Muslims do not follow the Gregorian calendar.
On the Hebrew calendar, year "1" would be the year 3761.
