The western world (as well as most of the rest of the world) uses the Gregorian calendar. The calendar is of Christian and Roman pagan origins.

The months and days of the week are named after Roman pagan gods and goddesses, and the calendar's epoch date (starting point) is 1 AD, the year Jesus Christ is estimated to have been born. The calendar has 365 days.

The calendar system widely used today, known as the Gregorian calendar, was developed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.

The Gregorian calendar corrected these discrepancies by adjusting the leap year system, leading to a more accurate alignment with the seasons. It has since been adopted by most countries around the world.
