Switching Calendars

<< < (2/2)

Clemence:

--- Quote ---Many Westerners are under the impression that most of the Orthodox Churches have adopted the Gregorian Calendar. But such is not the case. The majority of Orthodox Christians still adhere to the Old Style, ecclesiastical calendar. For example, the Russian Orthodox Church, several million Old Calendarists in Greece, Romania, and other lands, the monastic republic of Mount Athos, the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, etc.
--- End quote ---

I would think well under half a million people would be a more plausible number for Greece.

TimM:
And North Korea has gone and made their own calendar.  It starts in 1912, the year Kim Il-Sung, their "god" was born. 

The idea is that there was nothing before the Great Leader came along and made the world ::)
