Generation

The Julian calendar (established 45 BCE) has a leap year every 4 years, creating an average year of 365.25 days, while the Gregorian calendar (adopted 1582 CE) skips leap years in century years not divisible by 400, averaging 365.2425 days per year. This matters because the Julian calendar drifts about 3 days every 400 years relative to Earth's actual solar year (365.2422 days), causing seasonal dates to slowly shift—which is why some Orthodox churches still celebrate Christmas on January 7th (Julian December 25th). The 13-day current discrepancy affects historical date interpretation and continues to create different observance dates for shared holidays.
