13 months a year

 


If a year was 13 months not 12 

Every month would be exactly 28 days 

The 1st would always be a Monday 

The 28th would always be a Sunday 



13 x 28 = 364 

not 365 


The 13th month would need a name 


There were originally 10 months 

That is why October is the tenth month, it was the eighth 

November 9th 

December 10th 

September 7th 

January and February were added later 


The Gregorian Calendar was finalised in 1582 


If the first day of the new year was named Day Zero it would bring the days back to 365 

a Leap Year with the extra day would still be needed every four years
