| | History of THE CALENDAR |
| | The calendar devised during 1793 by a committee of the republican Convention in Paris combines the rational and the impractical in a way characteristic of much French revolutionary activity. | | | His proposal, which becomes the basis of the calendar known after the commissioning pope as Gregorian, is that century years (or those ending in '00') should only be leap years if divisible by 400. | | | An unusual aspect of the Mayan system is the Calendar Round, a 52-year cycle in which no two days have the same name. |

| | The French Revolution spawns Political Correctness |
| | The second, constituting the background of that religious movement, comprised a dechristianization movement and a manifestation of the revolutionary love of nature in the creation of a new calendar. | | | Popular revolutionary violence was not some sort of boiling subterranean lava that finally forced its way onto the surface of French politics and then proceeded to scald all those who stepped in its way. | | | These efforts may be considered from three points of view: economic and social policies, the revolutionary religion, and the continued application of the Terror. |

| | Edward M. Reingold's Calendar Papers/Code |
| | Algorithmic presentations are given for three calendars of historical interest, the Mayan, French Revolutionary, and Old Hindu. | | | For example, the astronomical Persian calendar begins its new year on the day when the vernal equinox (approximately March 21) occurs before apparent noon (the middle point of the day, not clock time) and is postponed to the next day if the equinox is after apparent noon. | | | Easy conversion among these calendars is a byproduct of the approach, as is the determination of secular and religious holidays. |

| | Comte's Utopia |
| | The French Revolutionary calendar devoted eight of the thirty required festivals to types of familial discourse (Reid, 1993: 37), but Comte's calendar of social worship dedicates an entire month to Marriage, which is the "primary Social Relation" (other social relations do not rate their own month). | | | Thus, the positivist liturgy involves mostly a worship of women, a celebration of how, in the future utopia, the original sin of heterosexual desire need no longer be suppressed: it has been "washed away" by the saving grace of the Divine Feminine (Standley 1981: 102). | | | As the "New Virgin Mother" (Standley 1981: 113), Clotilde gives birth yet refrains from sexual intimacy; thus, she incorporates the "spiritual" and eliminates the "carnal" aspects of mother, wife, and child, with no male heterosexual intrusion necessary to replicate the sacred triad. |

| | snarkout: ring in the new year |
| | The French revolutionary calendar was perhaps the last stand for secular calendar reform; two hundred years from now, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Orthodox Christians will all still be calculating holidays based on their traditional calendars, and we'll still be trying to figure out if our birthdays fall on a Monday. | | | The calendar reform provoked schism, with Old Calendarists Orthodox sects asserting that the Julian calendar remains the correct means of calculating holidays and that the Gregorian calendar represents a dangerously secular innovation. | | | Umberto Eco used the confusion between Gregorian and Julian calendars as a plot point in one of his novels, and Robert Poole suggests that disputes over the date may have led to the decline of the observation of Christmas. |
