A CALCULATION OF THE WEEKDAY
|
|
This web page calculates the weekday corresponding to a particular date of the Julian Calendar. The web page only calculates the weekday, if the year of the date is from the year 10 A.D. A little calendar historyThe imperator Julius Caesar commanded the Julian Calendar to be used as thecurrent calendar as from January, 1st of year 45 B.C. The calendar has got its name after the imperator. Due to a misunderstanding about the usage of leap year every third year instead of every fourth year, the correct usage of the calendar was not until the year 5 A.D. That's why this web page only calculates the weekday of a date from the year 5 and later. In general up to the tenth centuary you didn't use the Birth of Christ as the starting-point for year counting. Instead you counted years from the time of the establishment of Rome. This establishment should have been happened in April 21st, 753 B.C. In the 11th centuary Sweden began to use the Julian Calendar. This calendar was in current use up to February 28th, A.D. 1700. Between March 1st, 1700 and February 30th, 1712 (the Swedish Calendar) the authorities made an att- empt to change the current calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. The time be- tween March 1st, 1712 and February 17th, 1753 Sweden has again got the Julian Calendar as the current calendar. CalculationPush the button to start the calculation. |
