## Resource

Every single day has something in common. It has a date, whether that is July 4, October 7, or even the rare February 29. And that is thanks to the calendar, known as the Gregorian Calendar, and used by almost the entire world. Its efficiency and simplicity means that worrying about calendar drift is a thing of the past. But all this goes back to the mid-16th century when many in the Catholic Church were concerned that Easter was getting later and later. So, reform was introduced, and what emerged is the primary calendar used all over the world. This is the history of the Gregorian Calendar.
