The Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar from March 1900 until March 2100.
In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar, transitioning from the lunar-based calendar to the Julian calendar. To realign the calendar with the solar year, 90 extra days were added that year, resulting in a total of 445 days for that year, which is often referred to as the "year of confusion." This significant adjustment helped establish a more accurate calendar system that later influenced the Gregorian calendar we use today.
Russia was behind the West by 13 days because it had been using the Julian Calendar. It changed to the Gregorian Calendar when it was decreed that the day after January 31, 1918 would be February 14, 1918, thereby skipping 13 days.

In the time of Jesus, a year consisted of 365 days in the Julian calendar, which was in use during that period. However, it is important to note that the Julian calendar did not account for the extra 0.25 days in a solar year, leading to a discrepancy over time. This discrepancy was later addressed with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, which adjusted the calendar to have 365 days in a year, with a leap year occurring every four years.
365¼ days in a year. The average Gregorian calendar year is 365.2425 days. The average actual tropical year is about 365.2422 days. (The average Julian calendar year was 365.25 days.)
Using the Julian Calendar definition of a year as 365.25 days, it is about 40.22 years. This is about 40 years and 79 days.
Using Julian calculations, I believe the answer is 36,525 days. In the Gregorian calendar, every 4th century has 36,525 days; the rest each have 36,524 days.
The Gregorian calendar, introduced in 1582, corrected the inaccuracies of the Julian calendar by skipping 10 days initially. While the Julian calendar miscalculated the solar year by about 11 minutes, the Gregorian reform adjusted for this by implementing a more precise system of leap years. Over centuries, this discrepancy resulted in the need for additional adjustments, but the calendar itself is now accurate for practical purposes, with no additional days missing.
The Gregorian calendar takes about 3200 years to accumulate one day of error, as opposed to the Julian calendar, which accumulated an additional day of error every 128 years.
In many countries, there was no October 10, 1582. That was the month that the Gregorian calendar was put into use for the first time, so in many places, the day after Thursday, October 4, 1582 Julian calendar was Friday, October 15, 1582 Gregorian calendar. Although it was not in use until five days later, October 10, 1582 is a Sunday on the Gregorian calendar. On the Julian calendar it is a Wednesday.
