Full Year 2021

the Gregorian calendar.
351 days remain until the end of the year (352 in leap years). In
the 20th and 21st centuries the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the
Gregorian calendar, thus January 14 is sometimes celebrated as New Year's Day
(Old New Year) by religious groups who use
the Julian calendar. Contents
