Travel back in time to explore the captivating journey of the Gregorian calendar! Introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC, the Julian calendar faced a peculiar issue—it was slipping out of sync with the seasons, causing a slow drift over time.

By skipping 10 days in October and introducing the leap year rule—except for years divisible by 100 but not by 400—he gave birth to the Gregorian calendar. Originally embraced by Catholic countries, this ingenious reform soon spread worldwide, becoming the most widely used calendar across the globe.
