| | This calendar is the official calendar of Israel and is the liturgical calendar of the Jewish faith. | | | The ecclesiastical calendars of Christian churches are based on cycles of movable and immovable feasts. | | | The form of the Islamic calendar, as a lunar calendar without intercalation, was laid down by the Prophet in the Qur'an (Sura IX, verse 36-37) and in his sermon at the Farewell Pilgrimage. |

| | Introduction to Calendars |
| | On a lunisolar calendar, every month begins at the new moon, when the moon is invisible, or on the first night when it is barely visible in the west after sunset as a very thin crescent. | | | The Hebrew calendar is tied to the week in that the Hebrew year can only begin on 4 of the 7 week days. | | | Other differences between the Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian are that the Hebrew day begins at 6:00 p.m. |

| | The Hebrew calendar: The Hebrew calendar is the official calendar of Israel and of the Jewish faith. | | | This contradiction in the calendar specification, according to the BDL, was one reason given for abandoning the calendar. | | | Another similarity to the Hebrew calendar, by the way, is in the fact that an ordinary year can have 353, 354, or 355 days; a leap year can have 383, 384, or 385 days. |

| | The Liberalia Triday Calendar |
| | The Liberalia Triday Calendar was invented by the author of this article in the latter part of October 1999 CE and was revised and brought to its final form in the first half of November. | | | The Liberalia Triday Calendar is dedicated to freedom of religion, freedom from religous persecution, freedom to pursue spiritual knowledge by any desired means, including the use of psychedelics, and to freedom from the old Judeo-Christian order characterized by the 7-day week. | | | The triday is thus the basis for a natural rhythm in life, in contrast to the 7-day week, which is an unnatural imposition. |

| | The lunisolar Jewish calendar is taken from the ancient Hebrew calendar. | | | The Gregorian calendar is also called the Christian calendar because it uses the birth of Jesus Christ as a starting date. | | | This calendar is based on a 52-week, 364-day year starting on Sunday, January 1, with the 365th day, called Year-End Day, intercalated, or added, without date or day of the week. |

| | This calendar has twelve months annually, except for seven times every 19 years, when a thirteenth month is added. | | | An example of changing holidays would be the Jewish celebration of Chanukah which is always around the beginning of December, but not necessarily on the same day every year. | | | It has been in use since its creation in 1582 by Pope Gregory. |

| | Paula Burch's Lunisolar Calendar (Lunar Calendar) 2005-2006 |
| | Each lunation is named according to Northeastern US traditions, and equivalents to the Hebrew, Islamic, and Chinese lunar calendars are also noted for each month, along with the exact North American start dates of the Hebrew and Islamic calendar months, which vary slightly from the astronomical new moon. | | | The old claim that the Chinese lunar calendar can be used to predict whether you will have a boy or a girl is entirely fictitious. | | | Major Christian, Pagan, Jewish, Chinese, and Islamic holidays are included, as well as those Hindu holidays whose dates I could ascertain. |

| | EVOLUTION OF CALENDARS |
| | In the Hindu solar calendar month is 30 or 31 days and begins on the day of first sunrise after the calculated time of the mean sun's entry into the next zodiacal sign. | | | As a result, religious festivals were being observed on the wrong date as compared with their original seasons. | | | This problem had been known and discussed for several centuries, but was not completely corrected until near the end of the sixteenth century (1582 A.D.) at the time of Pope Gregory XIII resulting in present Gregorian Calendar. |

| | The Ancient Greek Calendar |
| | The Pindar scholiast claims that for the early Olympiads, the festival was held alternately after 49 or 50 months, which is essentially equivalent to four years in a lunisolar calendar. | | | The Athenian calendar is the best known and most intensively studied, and I shall therefore use it as a model. | | | In addition to this calendar, which has been called the festival calendar, Athenians maintained a second calendar for the political year. |

| | The Structure of the Chinese Calendar |
| | As noted in the preceding section each position-in-cycle is associated with a unique element-animal combination, so, e.g., "1-59-24-14" can also be expressed as "The 14th day of the last solar term of the Water-Dog year in the 1st cycle." | | | There are two Chinese calendars, a solar calendar and a lunar calendar (more precisely, a solilunar calendar, what some call a 'lunisolar' calendar). | | | For at least several centuries (according to some scholars, since the 5th C. BCE) the times of these events have been ascertained not by observation but rather by calculation, so these calendars can be classified as rule-based. |

| | Lunisolar calendar |
| | The Hebrew calendar and the Chinese calendar are lunisolar. | | | The Islamic calendar isn't lunisolar because its date doesn't indicate the season and the Gregorian Calendar isn't lunisolar because its date doesn't indicate the moon phase. | | | A lunisolar calendar is a calendar whose date indicates both the moon phase and the season. |
