New Year's Day in the older Julian calendar In Christendom, 1 January traditionally marks the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ. The Julian calendar, proposed by Julius Caesar in 46 BCE, was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect on 1 January 45 BCE, by edict.
Orthodox New Year, also known as the Old New Year, marks the start of the new year according to the Julian calendar.
The 304-day calendar year began in March (Martius), named after the Roman god Mars. It continued until December, which was harvest time in temperate Rome. The Romans linked each year to the
Conversion between Julian and Gregorian Calendars. Currently, the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. So, to convert from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, add 13 days; to convert in the opposite direction, subtract 13 days. The gap between the two calendar systems will increase to 14 days in the year 2100.
The Julian Calendar was off by 11 minutes every solar year, which added up and made us lose 10 days by the year 1582. The Gregorian Calendar is much more accurate and is only off by 26 seconds every solar year, which will eventually add up to make us lose 1 day by the year 4909.
