What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.

What calendar is used today?

The most common calendar used internationally today is the Gregorian calendar, which is Pope Gregory XIII's 1582 reform of the Julian calendar. Some non-Christian countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil and/or international purposes and another calendar for religious/ internal use. This is because (a) the Gregorian calendar is considered a Christian calendar, since the numbering of its years is based on the wrongly calculated year of the birth of Jesus, and (b) many festivals are based on the phases of the moon, and the Gregorian is neither a lunar calendar, like the Islamic Hijra, nor a lunisolar calendar, like the Hebrew Luach.
