Who produced the Julian calender?
The Julian calendar is a calendar that was invented by Julius Caesar, the leader of Ancient Rome. It is a reform of the Roman calendar. It was first used in the year 709 Ab urbe condita, or 45 BC. Caesar consulted the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria. Very probably it was made to approximate the tropical year, which was known at least since Hipparchus.The calendar has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, and a leap day is added every four years to the month of February, making the average Julian year 365.25 days.In the 16th century, the Gregorian calendar was introduced in Europe because it was more accurate with regard to the length of the year, and it also moved the date for the vernal equinox, the first day of spring (or of fall in the Southern Hemisphere) to where it belonged again, on March 21. The Gregorian calendar has 97 leap days every 400 years, while the Julian had exactly 100.Some countries used this calendar to the 20th century. Mount Athos, and many national Eastern Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar, or a revised form, introduced in 1923.The main problem with the Julian Calendar is that it makes too many leap days, which means that it gains a day about every 128 years.People sometimes use the term Old Style or O.S. to refer to the Julian calendar, with N.S. or New Style referring to the Gregorian calendar.
When was the latest change made in the christian calendar?
The last significant change to the Christian calendar was in 1582, when the Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian calendar, which has three fewer leap years in every 400-year period. The leap years that were changed to regular years are the last year of the first three of every four centuries (100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 700, 900, etc.). Although the Gregorian calendar was introduced in the 16th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that every country that used the Julian calendar had finally switched over. The following minor change was made within the past century: Most non-Christians prefer to refer to the years before the year 1 as Before the Christian Era (BCE) rather than the traditional Before Christ (BC), and they refer to the years including and after 1 with "of the Christian Era" (CE) instead of the traditional Anno Domini (AD), Latin for "in the Year of the Lord". Thereby they can use the Christian calendar without referring to Jesus as the Christ or the Lord.
What was the date of Fundamental Orders of Connecticut?
The Fundamental Orders were signed on January 14, 1639 (OS- ie, using the old Julian Calendar). This translates in the modern, Gregorian calendar to January 24, 1639 (NS). Both calenders were in use at the time of signing.So although we now generally refer to this event as having occurred on January 24, 1639, the document itself reads January 14, 1638.
