The modern Gregorian calendar, which consists of 12 months, was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. It replaced the Julian calendar, which had been in use since 45 BCE. The calendar is structured with months of varying lengths: January has 31 days, February has 28 or 29 days, and the rest have 30 or 31 days. The 12-month system has roots in earlier lunar and solar calendars, but the precise starting point for the Gregorian year is January 1.
