January markings

Author : Ryan Fyfe
The month of January is a special month as: January 1, or January the first, is of course the first day of the calendar year. This is true in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. I'm referring to the standard calendar year, in which months are ordered: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. It used to be in history that the first day of a medieval Julian new year was a day other than January 1. January 1st was adopted as the first day of the Julian year by all Western European countries except England between about 1440 and 1610. After the first of January 364 days in the year exist(365 in leap years).



Great events that have occurent on this day throughout history are:

45 BC - The Julian calendar first takes effect.

404 - Last known gladiator competition in Rome takes place.

630 - Muhammad sets out toward Mecca with the army that will capture it bloodlessly.
