Currently, the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. This gap will change in the year 2100 when the discrepancy will increase to 14 days.

From Julian to Gregorian Calendar

So in the USA Saturday, Sabbath would really be on Tuesday.

Romans 14
Good News Translation
Do Not Judge Others
14 Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions. 2 Some people's faith allows them to eat anything, but the person who is weak in the faith eats only vegetables. 3 The person who will eat anything is not to despise the one who doesn't; while the one who eats only vegetables is not to pass judgment on the one who will eat anything; for God has accepted that person. 4 Who are you to judge the servants of someone else? It is their own Master who will decide whether they succeed or fail. And they will succeed, because the Lord is able to make them succeed.

5 Some people think that a certain day is more important than other days, while others think that all days are the same. We each should firmly make up our own minds. 6 Those who think highly of a certain day do so in honor of the Lord; those who will eat anything do so in honor of the Lord, because they give thanks to God for the food. Those who refuse to eat certain things do so in honor of the Lord, and they give thanks to God. 7 We do not live for ourselves only, and we do not die for ourselves only. 8 If we live, it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and of the dead. 10 You then, who eat only vegetables—why do you pass judgment on others? And you who eat anything—why do you despise other believers? All of us will stand before God to be judged by him. 11 For the scripture says,

“As surely as I am the living God, says the Lord,
everyone will kneel before me,
and everyone will confess that I am God.”

12 Every one of us, then, will have to give an account to God.

Do Not Make Others Fall
13 So then, let us stop judging one another. Instead, you should decide never to do anything that would make others stumble or fall into sin. 14 My union with the Lord Jesus makes me certain that no food is of itself ritually unclean; but if you believe that some food is unclean, then it becomes unclean for you. 15 If you hurt others because of something you eat, then you are no longer acting from love. Do not let the food that you eat ruin the person for whom Christ died! 16 Do not let what you regard as good get a bad name. 17 For God's Kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of the righteousness, peace, and joy which the Holy Spirit gives. 18 And when you serve Christ in this way, you please God and are approved by others.

19 So then, we must always aim[a] at those things that bring peace and that help strengthen one another. 20 Do not, because of food, destroy what God has done. All foods may be eaten, but it is wrong to eat anything that will cause someone else to fall into sin. 21 The right thing to do is to keep from eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that will make other believers fall. 22 Keep what you believe about this matter, then, between yourself and God. Happy are those who do not feel guilty when they do something they judge is right! 23 But if they have doubts about what they eat, God condemns them when they eat it, because their action is not based on faith. And anything that is not based on faith is sin.

I can't tell. Are you asking a question or is this an FYI?

IIUC, the Julian calendar has three more days in 400 years than the Gregorian does. We had to take a look at how calendars worked when dealing with the Y2K crisis. The Gregorian has a 400 year cycle. That means that Leap Day is on a Tuesday in the years 1600, 2000, 2400, etc.

There is talk of a supposedly more accurate assignment of Leap Years, but I don't think that it is in effect, yet.

 

[Daniel Marsh]

It was FYI.

 

[GreekOrthodox]

The Orthodox Church still uses the Julian calendar or a revised version of it for our church year

Calendar inserts - like the one we do every 4 years - never changed the days of the week - only the number of the day for the month.

An easy detail to overlook - but it changes the thread considerably

When it was not a multiple seven why would not the day of the week not change?

When the American colonies switched in September 1752, this was how that month ran. You went to sleep on Wed 2nd and woke up on Thursday 14th.

thank you that makes sense. Which calendar came first and were they done the same way? Also, did people get back pay to the missing days?

I get grumpy about changing an hour twice a year!

We can thank Ben Franklin for that.
