"A strange historical transition will be completed this fall as the Orthodox Church of Ukraine officially abandons the classical Julian calendar still used by the Russian and Serbian national churches."

"The churches that made the change don’t explicitly use the Gregorian calendar, a creation of the Latin church — that would be a step too far in the direction of the West."

I need a better calendar!

Instead of:

yo, jesus was born 2023 years ago you shall be always reminded about that when you think about a fucking time!

And like something that is not using the solar system as a reference so that it can be used across different star systems or ideally galaxies while carrying a meaningful information

@davidgerard I'm remembering #Gregorian #chant being popular in the early 80s, so maybe my friends were just hopelessly ahead of the times.

The Athenaeum library at #Deventer acquired a unique object: a sheet from an #antiphonal which was temporarily returned to the Lebuinus church, for which it was originally created around 1518.
Enjoy a fragment of the #Gregorian music performed by the talented Jos Smeets.
