The Julian calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC.
In the Julian calendar, the tropical year is approximated as 365 1/4 days = 365.25 days. This gives an error of 1 day in approximately 128 years. The approximation 365 1/4 is achieved by having 1 leap year every 4 years. It was in common use until the 1500s, when countries started changing to the more precise Gregorian calendar, which has more complex rules for which years are leap years. However, some countries (for example, Greece and Russia) used the Julian calender well into the 1900s, and the Orthodox church in Russia still uses it, as do some other Orthodox churches. As a result those churches celebrate several religious holidays later then non-Orthodox churches.
