The term "Revised Julian" is informative primarily in describing the fact that it replaces the de facto Orthodox endorsement of the Julian calendar, and has the effect of avoiding any implicit recognition of Pope Gregory XIII's promulgation of a system with the same goals and general approach in the Gregorian reform of 1582.

- The Revised Julian calendar or Meletian Calendar or, less formally, New Calendar, is a calendar scheme, originated in 1923, which effectively discontinued the 340 years of divergence between the naming of dates sanctioned by those Eastern Orthodox churches adopting it and the Gregorian calendar scheme that has come to predominate worldwide. (After about eight centuries, the two schemes will diverge again, though more slowly than the Julian and Gregorian do.)

Despite its terminology and the application of improved scientific knowledge, it departs from the Julian calendar in essentially the same direction that the Gregorian did.
