This new style calendar, which is used up to date, upgrades the Julian calendar. It reduces the number of days in a year from 365.25 to 365.2425 days. To ensure that the calendar is in sync with the equinoxes, Pope Gregory shortened the Julian calendar year by 0.0075 days.
Most New Year's festivities begin on December 31 (New Year's Eve), the last day of the Gregorian calendar, and continue into the early hours of January 1 (New Year's Day).
The Julian Calendar was off by 11 minutes every solar year, which added up and made us lose 10 days by the year 1582. The Gregorian Calendar is much more accurate and is only off by 26 seconds every solar year, which will eventually add up to make us lose 1 day by the year 4909.
The year was divided into 12 months, all of which had either 30 or 31 days except February, which contained 28 days in common (365 day) years and 29 in every fourth year (a leap year, of 366 days). Leap years repeated February 23; there was no February 29 in the Julian calendar.
