History of the Gregorian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar is the most prevalently
used calendar today. Within this calendar, a
standard year consists of 365 days with a leap day
being introduced to the month of February during a
leap year. The months of April, June, September,
and November have 30 days, while the rest have
31 days except for February, which has 28 days in
a standard year, and 29 in a leap year.
The Gregorian calendar is a reformed version of
the Julian calendar, which was itself a modification
of the ancient Roman calendar. The ancient Roman
calendar was believed to be an observational lunar
calendar, based on the cycles of the moon's
phases. The Romans were then believed to have
adopted a 10-month calendar with 304 days,
leaving the remaining 50 or so days as an
unorganized winter. This calendar allowed the
summer and winter months to become completely
misplaced, leading to the adoption of more
accurate calendars.
The Republican calendar later used by Rome
followed Greek calendars in its assumptions of 29.5
days in a lunar cycle and 12.5 synodic months in a
solar year, which align every fourth year upon the
addition of the intercalary months of January and
February. From this point, many attempts were
made to align the Republican calendar with the
solar year including the addition of an extra month
to certain years to supplant the lack of days in a
particular year. In 46 BC, the calendar was further
reformed by Julius Caesar, introducing an algorithm
that removed the dependence of calendars from
the observation of the new moon. In order to
accomplish this, Caesar inserted an additional 10
days into the Republican calendar, making the total
number of days in a year 365. He also added the
intercalation of a leap day every fourth year, all in
an attempt to further synchronize the Roman
calendar with the solar year.
Despite all efforts, the Julian calendar still required
further reform, since the calendar drifted with
respect to the equinoxes and solstices by
approximately 11 minutes per year. By 1582, this
resulted in a difference of 10 days from what was
expected. Pope Gregory XIII addressed this by
essentially skipping 10 days in the date, making the
day after October 4, 1582, October 15. An
adjustment was also made to the algorithm of the
Julian calendar that changed which century years
would be considered leap years. Under the
Gregorian calendar, century years not divisible by
400 would not be leap years. These changes
reduced the error from 1 day in 128 years, to 1 day
in 3,030 years with respect to the current value of
the mean solar year.
The adoption of the Gregorian calendar occurred
slowly over a period of centuries, and despite many
proposals to further reform the calendar, the
Gregorian Calendar still prevails as the most
commonly used dating system worldwide.
Holidays
A holiday is a day that, either by custom or by law,
is set aside such that regular activities like going to
work or school are suspended, or at least reduced.
The term "holiday" can be interpreted differently,
depending on the region. In the U.S., paid leave is
typically referred to as "vacation," while national,
religious, or cultural days off are referred to
exclusively as "holiday." In some regions, however,
such as the United Kingdom or former British
colonies, the term holiday can also refer to paid
leave.
Generally, holidays are meant to commemorate
some event, person, or group of cultural or religious
significance. Although certain holidays, such as
Christmas and New Year's Day, are widely
celebrated worldwide, most countries have their
own set of holidays that are specific to the country,
and even the same holidays may be observed
differently within countries: some may receive a full
suspension of typical daily activities, while others
may only get partial days off. Certain countries
have holidays that essentially shut down almost all
businesses. As an example, in Brazil, Carnaval do
Brasil results in almost a full week in which only
industrial production, retail establishments, or
carnival-related businesses, function.
This calculator is mainly geared towards U.S.
holidays, but holidays specific to a given country
can be entered manually. Certain holidays can also
be excluded. For a further level of specificity,
federal holidays in the U.S. refer to holidays that
have been recognized by the U.S. government; on
these days, non-essential federal government
offices are closed, and all federal employees
receive paid leave. This is not necessarily true in
the private sector, however, and which federal
holidays a private sector employee receives is
largely dependent on the discretion of the
company. In some cases, an employee who is
required to work on a federal holiday may receive
compensation in the form of holiday pay in addition
to their regular wages.
Certain holidays such as New Year's Day are
referred to as "fixed holidays," since they fall on the
same date every year. Others, such as the birthday
of Martin Luther King, Jr., don't have a fixed date,
because they occur on a "floating Monday"; in this
particular case, the holiday occurs on the third
Monday of January. Another widely observed
holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving, occurs on a
"floating Thursday," the fourth Thursday In
November, hence the dates of these holidays vary
by year. Below are two tables showing the dates of
federal holidays in the U.S. for 2024 and 2025.
