Christian calendar redirects here; for the calendar of religious holidays and periods, see liturgical year.
The Gregorian calendar is the calendar that is used nearly everywhere in the world. A modification of the Julian calendar, it was first proposed by the Calabrian doctor Aloysius Lilius, and was decreed by Pope Gregory XIII, for whom it was named, on 24 February 1582 via the papal bull Inter gravissimas. Its years are numbered based on the traditional birth year of Jesus Christ, which is labeled the "anno Domini" era [1].

The Gregorian Calendar was devised both because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was slightly too long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly drift backwards in the calendar year, and because the lunar calendar used to compute the date of Easter had grown conspicuously in error as well.

It sure makes celebrating your birthday hard, if they skipped it that year, huh?

Answer 2

That's when they switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar.

"Just imagine your eighteenth-century ancestors going to bed on Wednesday, September 2nd and waking up on Thursday, September 14th. What would have been September 3rd was actually September 14th in the year 1752. They lost those eleven days from their lives. September 1752 had only nineteen days."

Answer 3

The calendar changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar this year, and a number of days was dropped during this process.

Thank you for a ost interesting question, I was never aware of this fact.
