History of the Gregorian Calendar

The calendar we use today is called the Gregorian Calendar. It got its name from Pope Gregory XIII, who made it better in 1582.

Before that, people used the Julian Calendar, created by Julius Caesar in 45 BC. It had a small problem – it was about 11 minutes too long each year. That made the calendar's dates not match the seasons.

So, Pope Gregory fixed it in October 1582 and making new rules for leap years. In this calendar, most years that can be divided by 4 are leap years. But if a year is divisible by 100, it's not a leap year, except if it's also divisible by 400. These changes made the calendar match the solar year better.

At first, only some countries used this new calendar, mainly those that followed the Catholic faith. But eventually, it spread all around the world.

Now, the Gregorian Calendar is the most common one worldwide. We use it for school, work, and keeping track of the seasons – knowing when spring, summer, fall, and winter start.
