The problem is that this has a year that is slightly too long. To fix this problem, the Gregorian calendar added exceptions. In the Gregorian calendar, the rule is this:Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100; the centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year; the year 2000 was a leap year.There are still some Orthodox parishes in eastern Europe which still use the Julian calendar. Greece was one of the last Western countries to convert to the Gregorian calendar, in 1925. The isolated Greek monastic community on Mount Athos retains the Julian calendar.

In September 1752 the Julian calendar was replaced with the Gregorian calendar in Great Britain and its American colonies.
