The name refers to the changes of seasons (greek `tropai', the turning points) which are fixed in this kind of year.

Since the dawn of civilisation man has kept track of time by use of the sun, the moon, and the stars. Man noticed that time could be broken up into units of the day (the time taken for the earth to rotate once on its axis), the month (the time taken for the moon to orbit the earth) and the year (the time taken for the earth to orbit the sun). This information was needed so as to know when to plant crops and when to hold religious ceremonies.

Dubberstein, Babylonian Chronology [Providence, Rhode Island, 1956] The beginning of the month in the Babylonian calendar was determined by the direct observation by priests of the young crescent moon at sunset after the astronomical New Moon. This custom is remembered in Judaism and IslÂm with the principle that the new calendar day begins at sunset. In IslÂm, months whose commencement is of religious significance, like the month after the Fast of RamadÂn, still depend on the actual observation of the crescent moon by a respected religious authority.

The Egyptian calendar was the first solar calendar and contained 365 days. These were divided into 12 30-day months and five days of festival (Neugebauer 1969). From astronomical calculations, Sirius and the Sun coincided in 4241 and 2773 BC, so either of these could have served as Egyptian Year 1. The calendar used by the ancient Greeks was based on the Moon , and is known as the Metonic calendar. This calendar was based on the observations of Meton of Athens (ca. 440 BC ), which showed that 235 lunar months made up almost exactly 19 solar years. This 19-year cycle became known as the Metonic cycle .

Doggett 1. Introduction A calendar is a system of organizing units of time for the purpose of reckoning time over extended periods. By convention, the day is the smallest calendrical unit of time; the measurement of fractions of a day is classified as timekeeping. The generality of this definition is due to the diversity of methods that have been used in creating calendars.

Like the Western calendar, The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a yearly one, with the start of the lunar year being based on the cycles of the moon. Therefore, because of this cyclical dating, the beginning of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. This year it falls on February 12th. A complete cycle takes 60 years and is made up of five cycles of 12 years each. The Chinese Lunar Calendar names each of the twelve years after an animal. Legend has it that the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from earth.

The 15th day of the new year is called the LanternFestival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays andchildren carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on acombination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chineseinsert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year.This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Yearfalls on a different date each year.

The Egyptian calendar dates back to 4241 BC , and the Sothic cycle they used is 1,468 years. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Thoth was the god of the moon, god of wisdom, the measurer of time, and the inventor of writing and numbers. He is credited with devising the standard 365-day year . The Egyptian calendar clearly took into account the lunar cycles , as it, according to Herodotus, "consist[ed] of twelve divisions of the seasons." and they used forms of intercalation to keep the lunar calendar seasonally consistent.

The other man smiled slyly and replied, "Same as always: the 25th of Kislev." This humorous comment makes an important point: the date of Jewish holidays does not change from year to year. Holidays are celebrated on the same day of the Jewish calendar every year, but the Jewish year is not the same length as a solar year on the Gregorian calendar used by most of the western world, so the date shifts on the Gregorian calendar. Background and History The Jewish calendar is based on three astronomical phenomena: the rotation of the Earth about its axis (a day); the revolution of the moon about the Earth (a month); and the revolution of the Earth about the su Read More Go to Site Liturgical Calendar of the Ecclesia Gnostica -- 2007 Votes:0 Directory Lectionary of the Ecclesia Gnostica An Introduction to the Lectionary Homilies This Week This Month's Sophia Meditation Return to Ecclesia Gnostica E CCLESIA G NOSTICA Liturgical Calendar Anno Domini 2007 All numbers in brackets, indicating page numbers, refer to the Lectionary of the Ecclesia Gnostica , also known as the Book of Collects, Lessons and Gospels .

The Schefflers argue in the written supplement to their calendar program CalMaster 2000 that the two are "virtually identical", with "the main difference being that besides the cyclical dating and chronology being tied to the reign of each emperor [Japanese emperor to Japanese calendar; Chinese emperor to Chinese calendar], a general year numbering system [was] used that dates from the Emperor [of Japan] Jimmu Tenno in 660 B.C."

The year before 1 A.D. is defined as year 1 B.C., so year 0 was skipped. (See below . Therefore, January 1st, year 1 is defined to be the start of the 1st century and the 1st Millennium.

There are currently three main calendars in use: Fasli, Shahanshahi, and Qadimi. The oldest Zoroastrian calendar ('Old Avestan') was evidently a seasonal one, but it is not clear how it was kept in harmony with the seasons. In later years ('Younger Avesta' and Sasanian times) the prescribed method was to add a month every 120 years, but none of the three modern calendars follow this tradition. Cf. Denkard 3, chapter 419 and Bundahishn chapter 25.
