Coptic year

The Coptic year is the extension of the ancient Egyptian civil year, retaining its subdivision into the three seasons, four months each. The three seasons are commemorated by special prayers in the Coptic Liturgy. This calendar is still in use all over Egypt by farmers to keep track of the various agricultural seasons. The Coptic calendar has 13 months, 12 of 30 days each and an intercalary month at the end of the year of 5 or 6 days, depending whether the year is a leap year or not. The year starts on 29 August in the Julian Calendar or on the 30th in the year before (Julian) Leap Years. Events 708 - Copper coins are minted in Japan for the first time (Traditional Japanese date: August 10, 708) The Julian calendar, a reform of the Roman calendar, was introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC and came into force in 45 BC (709 Ab urbe condita The Coptic Leap Year follows the same rules as the Julian Calendar so that the extra month always has six days in the year before a Julian Leap Year.

The Feast of Neyrouz marks the first day of the Coptic year. Its celebration falls on the 1st day of the month of Thout, the first month of the Coptic year, which for AD 1901 to 2098 usually coincides with 11 September, except before a Gregorian leap year when it is September 12. Thout, also known as Tout, ( Coptic:) is the first month of the Coptic calendar. Events 9 - The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest ends 506 - The Bishops of Visigothic Gaul Events 1213 - Albigensian Crusade: Simon de Montfort 5th Earl of Leicester, defeats Peter II of Aragon at the Coptic years are counted from AD 284, the year Diocletian became Roman Emperor, whose reign was marked by tortures and mass executions of Christians, especially in Egypt. Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus ( ca. December 22 244 The modern historian Timothy Barnes takes December 22 as his birthdate Hence, the Coptic year is identified by the abbreviation A. M. (for Anno Martyrum or "Year of the Martyrs"). The A. M. abbreviation is also used for the unrelated Jewish year (Anno Mundi).

Every fourth Coptic year is a leap year without exception, as in the Julian calendar, so the above mentioned new year dates apply only between AD 1900 and 2099 inclusive in the Gregorian Calendar. Year 1900 ( MCM) was an exceptional Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar In the Julian Calendar, the new year is always 29 August, except before a Julian leap year when it's August 30.

Easter ( Greek: Πάσχα Pascha or Pasxa) is the most important religious feast in the Christian Liturgical year.

To obtain the Coptic year number, subtract from the Julian year number either 283 (before the Julian new year) or 284 (after it).

Date of Christmas

The choice of 25 December to celebrate the Nativity of Christ was first proposed by Hippolytus of Rome (170–236), but was apparently not accepted until either 336 or 364. Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian Christ is the English term for the Greek ( Khristós) meaning "the anointed " For places named after the saint see Saint-Hippolyte Saint Hippolytus of Rome (c Rome ( Roma ˈroma Roma is the capital city of Italy and Lazio, and is Italy's largest and most populous city with more than 2 Dionysius of Alexandria emphatically quoted mystical justifications for this very choice:

March 25 was considered to be the anniversary of Creation itself. Pope Dionysius of Alexandria, named 'the Great' was the Pope of Alexandria from 248 until his death on November 17 265 after seventeen years as a bishop Events 1199 - Richard I is wounded by a crossbow bolt while fighting France which leads to his death on April 6. It was the first day of the year in the medieval Julian calendar and the nominal vernal equinox (it had been the actual equinox at the time when the Julian calendar was originally designed). Considering that Christ was conceived at that date turned March 25 into the Feast of the Annunciation which had to be followed, nine months later, by the celebration of the birth of Christ, Christmas, on December 25. Events 1199 - Richard I is wounded by a crossbow bolt while fighting France which leads to his death on April 6. Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian

There may have been more practical considerations for choosing 25 December. Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian The choice would help substitute a major Christian holiday for the popular pagan celebrations around the winter solstice (Roman Saturnalia or Brumalia). The religious competition was fierce. In 274, Emperor Aurelian had declared a civil holiday on December 25 (the "Festival of the birth of the Unconquered Sun") to celebrate the birth of Mithras, the Persian Sun-God whose cult predated Zoroastrianism and was then very popular among the Roman military. Events By Place Roman Empire December 25 — Roman emperor Aurelian has a temple dedicated to Sol Invictus on the third Lucius Domitius Aurelianus ( September 9, 214 or 215 &ndashSeptember or October 275 known in English as Aurelian, Roman Emperor (270&ndash275 Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun" or more fully Deus Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun God" was the late Roman state Sun god. The Mithraic Mysteries or Mysteries of Mithras (also Mithraism) was a Roman mystery religion which became popular among the military in the late Zoroastrianism (ˌzɔroʊˈæstriəˌnɪzəm is the religion and philosophy based on the teachings The Roman Empire was the post-Republican phase of the ancient Roman civilization, characterised by an autocratic form of government and large territorial Finally, joyous festivals are needed at that time of year, to fight the natural gloom of the season.

That there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night (Luke 2:8), does not rule out December 25th as Christmas - for contemporary records indicate that this was as likely then as at any time of year. Those who observed what was happening then confirm the weather patterns of the time, and what shepherds did amidst them all.

Until the 16th century, 25 December coincided with 29 Koiak of the Coptic calendar. Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian Koiak also known as Kiahk is the fourth month of the Coptic calendar. However, upon the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, December 25 shifted 10 days earlier in comparison with the Julian and Coptic calendars and a further day each time the Gregorian calendar drops a leap day. Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian This is the reason why Old-Calendrists (using the Julian and Coptic calendars) presently celebrate Christmas on January 7, 13 days after the New-Calendrists (using the Gregorian calendar), who celebrate Christmas on December 25. Events 1325 - Alfonso IV becomes King of Portugal. 1558 - France takes Calais, the last continental Events 274 - Roman Emperor Aurelian

Date of Resurrection

According to Christian tradition, Jesus died at the ninth hour (that is, the canonical hour of nona or 'noon' in Middle English - 3:00 pm) of the first full day of Pesach, when that day fell on a Friday; and arose from the dead at or by the first (canonical) hour of that Sunday. This article concerns itself with Jesus Christ Christian, Islamic and other religious interpretations of resurrection in general Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) Passover ( Hebrew, Yiddish: פֶּסַח Pesach, Tiberian: pɛsaħ Israeli: Pesah, Pesakh, Yiddish The day of Pesach (Pascha or Passover, Nisan 15), is always at the first or second full moon following the vernal equinox. Passover ( Hebrew, Yiddish: פֶּסַח Pesach, Tiberian: pɛsaħ Israeli: Pesah, Pesakh, Yiddish At the First Ecumenical Council, held in 325 at Nicaea, it was decided to celebrate Easter on the Sunday following the so-called Paschal Full Moon. This is a general introduction to ecumenical councils For the Roman Catholic councils, see Catholic Ecumenical Councils. Events By Place Roman Empire Gladiatorial combat is outlawed in the Roman Empire The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicaea in Bithynia (present-day İznik in Turkey) convoked by the Roman Emperor Constantine The Paschal Full Moon roughly corresponds to the first Full moon of the northern Spring.

At the Council of Nicaea, it became one of the duties of the patriarch of Alexandria to determine the dates of the Resurrection and to announce it to the other Christian churches. The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicaea in Bithynia (present-day İznik in Turkey) convoked by the Roman Emperor Constantine The Patriarch of Alexandria is the Archbishop of Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt. This duty fell on this officiate because of the erudition at Alexandria he could draw on. The rules to determine this are complex, but the Resurrection is the first Sunday after a full moon occurring after the vernal equinox, which falls on or after March 21, which was its date at the time of the First Council of Nicaea. An equinox is the event of the Sun passing over the Earth's equator in its annual cycle Events 630 - Byzantine emperor Heraclius restores the True Cross to Jerusalem. Shortly before Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, the vernal equinox was occurring on the "nominal" date of 25 March. Events 1199 - Richard I is wounded by a crossbow bolt while fighting France which leads to his death on April 6. This was abandoned at Nicaea, but the reason for the observed discrepancy was all but ignored (the actual tropical year is not quite equal to the Julian year of 365¼ days, so the date of the equinox keeps creeping back in the Julian calendar). A tropical year (also known as a solar year) is the length of time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons as seen from Earth
