Calendar of Romulus – Roman writers attributed the ancient Roman calendar to Romulus,
the founder of Rome around 753 BC. The Romulus calendar had ten months with the Spring
Equinox in the first month. The year consisted of 304 days with the winter days after the end of
December and before March not being assigned to any month. Some of the months were named
after Roman “gods” and others after numbers. Quintilus means five, Sextilus means six,
September means seven, October means eight, November means nine, and December means ten.

Calendar of Numa - Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome,
reformed the calendar of Romulus around 713 BC. The Romans considered odd numbers to be
lucky, so Numa took one day from each of the even numbered six months and added those six
days to the 51 previously unallocated winter days making a total of 57 days. These he made into
two months, Ianuarius (January) and Februarius (February), which he prefixed to the previous 10
months. January was given 29 days, while February had the unlucky number of 28 days, suitable
for the month of purification. This made a regular year 355 days long in place of the previous
304 days of the Romulus calendar.

Julian Calendar - Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus, reformed the calendar in 46 BC. The
new calendar became known as the Julian calendar with 365 days and 366 days on leap years.
The calendar reforms were completed during the reign of his successor Augustus Caesar, who
renamed Quintilis as Iulius (July) in honor of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and Sextilis as Augustus
(August) in honor of Augustus Caesar in 8 BC. This was the Roman calendar during the time of
Jesus Christ.

Gregorian calendar - The Gregorian calendar was a reform in 1582 AD of the Julian
calendar .The motivation for the reform was to bring the date for the celebration of Easter to the
time of the year in which the First Council of Nicaea had agreed upon in 325 AD. Although the
Gregorian calendar is named after Pope Gregory XIII, it is an adaptation of a calendar designed
by Italian doctor,astronomer, and philosopher Luigi Lilio (also known as Aloysius Lilius). He
was born around 1510 AD and passed in 1576 AD, six years before his calendar was accepted in
1582 AD.

developed the most awesome calendar in human history. The year begins on the Niagara Falls

years. March is the first month of the year in order to align September, October, November, and
December with the meanings of their names. Also, Easter has a fixed date on March 22 every
year for the New Jerusalem Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible.
