	Gregorian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gregorian Calendar was devised both because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was slightly too long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly drift backwards in the calendar year, and because the lunar calendar used to compute the date of Easter had grown conspicuously in error as well.
		The Gregorian solar calendar is an arithmetical calendar.
		These Old Calendarists continue to celebrate the Nativity on 25 December in the Julian calendar, which is 7 January in the Gregorian calendar until 2100.

	Julian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The notation "Old Style" (OS) is sometimes used to indicate a date in the Julian calendar, as opposed to "New Style" (NS), which indicates a date in the Gregorian Calendar.
		The Julian calendar was in general use in Europe from the times of the Roman Empire until 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII promulgated the Gregorian Calendar, which was soon adopted by most Catholic countries.
		A revised Julian calendar was proposed during a synod in Constantinople in May of 1923, consisting of a solar part which was and will be identical to the Gregorian calendar until the year 2800, and a lunar part which calculated Easter astronomically at Jerusalem.

		The Gregorian Calendar was devised because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was slightly too long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly drift backwards in the calendar year.

	Calendars as seen in Roman or Old and New Style dates
		Caesar’s calendar, known as the Julian calendar, went into effect in 45 B.C. In the 16th century, a major overhaul of the Julian calendar was considered by both clergy and Christian governments who had strong incentives to provide a calendar by which Easter would be reckoned accurately.

		Thenceforth the Julian calendar became known as the Old Style calendar (abbreviated O.S.) and the Gregorian as the New Style (N.S.).
