What was the day on January First Year One? (01/01/0001)?

Question

What was the day on January First Year One? (01/01/0001)?

Answer 1

If you will use a Gregorian Calendar, 01/01/0001 will also be Monday.

If you will calculate that date using a Julian Calendar, that will be Saturday.

If you will convert the Gregorian date 01/01/0001 into Julian, you will get the date January 03, 0001.

You don't believe me? You can try this out using a Calendar Converter.

Answer 2

Is it that we have to calculate the day of the week on 1 January 0001 by going backwards and giving room for changes in the calendars during the period?

How did the name of the week of the first day of the first year was named in the Gregorian Calendar?

Whether the names of the week of Indian Calendar has been translated into Gregorian Calendar with the names of the Planets (including Sun) in the Solar system or is it the other way round?

If Indian Calendar had the week names earlier than the Gregorian Calendar, how did it start and whether it has the evidence from Puranas?

Answer 3

SUNDAY

Answer 6

The Julian calendar was in effect then. January 1, 1AD was actually a Sunday. It is sometimes erroneous calculated as a Saturday because the year 4AD was a common year not a leap year moving the calendar behind by one day. The first leap year in the AD era was 8AD. Jesus was actually born around 5BC but nobody knows exactly. We celebrate his birthday on December 25 making Junuary 1 the day he was circumcised that is why the year begins on January 1.

Answer 9

I used the java date API library, which calculates when the English changed over from Julian to Gregorian in 1752. It is fuzzy for dates in history.



In Astronomy they use Julian Days to remove this fuzzy History counting.



day: Monday

full date: Monday, January 1, 1

Julian Days = 366
