ol the re arranging ot the calendars of the world was back in 4b B C when
Roitun F.mpcmr Julius Caesar divided the year into 12 months instead ol
III lhal vear 4b B f . was called the vear of contusion and it lasted 44S
days Ihe Julian calendar lasted until Pope Gregory XIII ordered n cor
reeled in l'H2 when the very accurate, presently used. Gregorian calendar
was lust adopted hy the R o i i u i i Catholic nations ol Furopr. hut not until
IR2H was it completely adopted world wide

month might he called Sol and could come before July A year dav would
come at the end ol the U*4 davv and would belong to no month
