The Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC, was a reform of the Roman calendar. It was based on a 365-day year with an extra day added every four years (leap year) to account for the approximately 365.25 days it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun.
Though the Gregorian calendar is now widely used, the Julian calendar is still observed by some Orthodox churches and is also used for some astronomical and agricultural purposes.
