This curious difference inschedule has a lot to do with how calendars have been developedand changed over the years. In the year 45 B.C.Julius Ceasar gave the empire his Julian Calendar, with thewinter solstice on January 6. This put an end to a system inwhich officials called "pontiffs" were able to tweak the calendarby adding extra days in as needed. He invented twonew months at that time, December and January; and inorder to correct the mess the pontiffs had made, forced ayear of 445 days on the empire in what he named "The LastYear of Confusion." The new months varied in number ofdays according to a complex schedule, but the calendar wasstill off by nearly twelve minutes a year, and lost a full dayevery 130 years.Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar in 1583, but noteveryone appreciated his efforts. England held out for twohundred years. The year 1700 was a leap year in England,but not in France; they were eleven days apart! GeorgeWashington was really born on February 11; when the Gregoriancalendar was finally adopted in the English coloniesshortly before the Revolution, he had to move his birthdayto February 22. Now the calendars are thirteen days apart,which accounts for Russia's Julian calendar Christmas. AndCaesar thought he had brought confusion to an end!--James Field, Copyright (c) J. S.
