Dear colleagues
Please excuse my naive arithmetic question.
In this (and the former) century, the difference between the two
calendars is 13 days.
BUT as far as I know the orthodox holy service in Church is
celebrated on a SUNDAY, which is ALSO a Sunday in the Gregorian
calendar. If the difference was 14 days, then everything would be OK.
But 13 does not fit. Something must be wrong somewhere. Or does that
mean that next century, when the difference will be 14 days, the
Orthodox will go to the mass on THEIR Sunday, which will be a
Saturday for the others?
Thanks for your patience
