Pax Calendar

rdfs:comment

The Pax calendar was invented by James A. Colligan in 1930 as a reform of the Gregorian calendar. Unlike other proposals such as the International Fixed Calendar and the World Calendar, it preserves the 7-day week by intercalating a week to a perpetual year of 52 weeks = 364 days. The year is divided into 13 months of 28 days, whose names are the same as in the Gregorian calendar except that a month called Columbus occurs between November and December. The first day of every week, month and year would be Sunday.

The Pax calendar was invented by James A. Colligan in 1930 as a reform of the Gregorian calendar. Unlike other proposals such as the International Fixed Calendar and the World Calendar, it preserves the 7-day week by intercalating a week to a perpetual year of 52 weeks = 364 days. The year is divided into 13 months of 28 days, whose names are the same as in the Gregorian calendar except that a month called Columbus occurs between November and December. The first day of every week, month and year would be Sunday. In years that have an extra week, a one-week month called Pax would be inserted after Columbus. The Pax Calendar proposal is mentioned in the book "Marking Time: The Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar" (by Duncan Steel, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000, page 288): "As a matter of fact, this leap-week idea is not a new one. and such calendars have been suggested from time to time. ... In 1930, there was another leap-week calendar proposal put forward, this time by a Jesuit, James A. Colligan, but once more the Easter question scuppered it within the Catholic Church."
