	Revised Julian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The synod synchronized the new calendar with the Gregorian calendar by specifying that 1 October 1923 in the Julian calendar will be 14 October in the Revised Julian calendar, thus dropping thirteen days.
		It then adopted a leap year rule that differs from that of the Gregorian calendar: Years evenly divisible by four are leap years, except that years evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they leave a remainder of 200 or 600 when divided by 900, then they are leap years.
		This means that the two calendars will first differ in 2800, which will be a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, but a common year in the Revised Julian calendar.
