Summary
Description Equinox-Revised-Julian-Jerusalem-SOLEX-11.png |
English:
A graph of the time-and-date of the
March equinox
(a.k.a. northward equinox) in the
Revised Julian calendar
, computed (numerically integrated) in
local apparent time
in Jerusalem.
Caution: This graph shows the March equinox in an UNCOMMON calendar. The "Revised Julian calendar" is in-sync with the
Gregorian calendar
from March 1, 1600 through February 28, 2800, but creeps ahead of it thereafter. In 1923, some Eastern churches belatedly dropped the Julian calendar. Instead of adopting the Gregorian calendar (like almost everyone else), they reworked a Gregorian alternative that was first proposed in 1785, and adopted this "Revised Julian calendar", which allows only 2 of 9 whole-century leap-years (instead of 2 of 8 like the Gregorian), possibly because of better long-term accuracy than the Gregorian, and to keep the March equinox date centered on March 20 (like the old Julian) instead of mostly on March 21 (like the current Gregorian), and prevent dilemmas in calculating the date of [Eastern] Easter, from March 2800 onward.
