The Julian calendar was used in most places that use the Gregorian calendar today, especially in countries considered "Christian". The switch to the Gregorian calendar, which is very similar but 25 times more accurate, began on October 15, 1582 (Gregorian date).
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.
The date not only changes each year it changes daily. That is part of the purpose of a calendar.
