The Gregorian Calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, is the calendar that we use today. It consists of 365 days in each year, with a 366-day leap year every fourth year.
It is almost exactly the same as the Julian Calendar, except that leap years are sometimes dropped from end of century years unless they are divisible by 400.
