The Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar, 12 months, each month is a moon (from one new moon to the next). That makes the Muslim calendar 11 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar; a date like the first of Muharram will be like 11 days earlier each year, and gradually change through the different seasons. According to Wikipedia, last time, Muharram started on December 29, 2008. This year it should be 11 or 12 days earlier, but future times are estimates, since the months start when the new moon is actually sighted.
