		A modification of the Julian calendar, it was first proposed by Neapolitan doctor Aloysius Lilius, and promulgated by the eponymous Pope Gregory XIII on February 24, 1582 (Note: The papal bull Inter gravissimas was dated 1581, as the year was at that time taken to commence in March).
		The Gregorian calendar was devised because the mean year in the Julian Calendar was a little too long, causing the Vernal equinox to slowly drift earlier in the calendar year.
		Sweden started to make the change from the OS calendar and towards the NS calendar in 1700, but it was decided to make the now 11-day adjustment gradually, by excluding the leap days (29 February) from each of 11 successive leap years, 1700 to 1740.

		Instead, a Revised Julian calendar was proposed in May 1923 which dropped 13 days in 1923 and adopted a different leap year rule that resulted in no difference between the two calendars until 2800.

		The Gregorian Calendar, a modification of the Julian calendar, was first proposed by Neapolitan doctor Aloysius Lilius, and adopted by Pope Gregory XIII on February 24, 1582 (the document was dated 1581 on account of the pope starting the year in March).
		The Gregorian calendar also fixed the first day of the year as January 1, which was already the first day used in Italy, Germany, and other places, but not universally (England, for example, began the year on March 25).
		When the new calendar was put in use, to correct the error already accumulated in the thirteen centuries since the council of Nicaea, a deletion of ten dates was made passing from October 4, 1582 directly to October 15, 1582.

	The Gregorian Calendar
		The only difference between the "Improved" and the Gregorian calendar was the determination of Easter but finally, in 1775, the Protestants threw over board their "astronomical" Easter calculation and, since 1776, celebrated Easter together with the Catholic church.
		First, the year 1700 was declared a common year instead of a leap year, thus putting the calendar in Sweden one day ahead of the Julian calendar and leaving a difference between the Gregorian and the Swedish calendar of ten days.
		Russia adopted the Julian calendar as late as 1700, until then counting the years from the "creation of the world" which was assumed to have taken place in 5509 BCE, and beginning the year on 1 September.

	The Calendar
		This is an excellent definition illuminating the dual role of the calendar: religious matters that are arbitrarily timed and agricultural matters that must be precisely timed in the year.
		There are a couple of Ecclesiastical calendars for organising festivals, a Chinese calendar banned in China but used in some Asian countries, in remote areas like the Russian steppe there are still remnants of simple agricultural calendars which depend on equinoxes but not on counting days and dozens of provincial calendars.

	Perpetual Easter Calculator: Julian/Gregorian Easter Sunday and Jewish Passover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Initially, the plan was to slowly migrate the calendar from the Julian style to the Gregorian style by leaving out each leap day correction from 1700 until 1740 while retaining the Dionysian Easter reckoning until 1740 after which the “improved” (astronomical) Easter reckoning would be observed.
		In order to end this calendar confusion, it was decided in 1712 to revert back to the original Julian calendar by adding an extra leap day (February 30), thus creating a unique month that had never happened before and has not occurred since.
		From 1712 to 1739 both the Julian calendar as the Dionysian Easter reckoning were observed in Sweden but in 1740 (as had been planned long before) the “improved” Easter reckoning was introduced though the Julian calendar was still retained.

	SKI, the Swedish Calendar Initiative: Event Publishing in a Universal Marketplace
		There was the arranger's own calendar, the county's calendar, the tourist calendar, a folk music calendar, a ticket vendor calendar, a summer festival calendar, a cultural calendar, and Time-out calendars, many with the admirable ambition of becoming a centralized, all-encompassing consumer service.
		The results were a lot of work for arrangers who still had to continue with their traditional publication channels -- newspapers, radio, and TV -- as well as paste up the town with posters.
		In the absence of one definitively dominating database, an unlikely development on a free-market Web in a free-market society, the very proliferation of calendars was not only detrimental to each site's individual success but also confusing and inefficient for all concerned, especially the consumer.
