| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christian Calendar |
 | | When the destruction of Jerusalem practically deprived the Jews of the dispersion of any norm or standard of uniformity, they probably fell into erroneous or divergent reckonings, and this in turn entailed a difference of opinion among the Christians. | | | There can be little doubt that the early Christians felt as we do the inconvenience of this movable element in the otherwise stable framework of the Julian calendar. | | | It will have been inferred from what has been said above that considerable divergence prevailed among the calendars in use at the close of the Middle Ages. |

| | Ptolemy's teachings were based, in turn, on those of Plato and Pythagoras who both expounded a geocentric, 'earth-centred' view of the universe in which the sun, moon and planets all revolved about a stationary Earth, positioned as it should be, at the very hub of the cosmos. | | | This defender-god was also a sage, and was likened by the Romans with Mars, their own god of war. | | | Like the rest of the ancient Mediterranean world, the Romans believed that each day of the week was ruled by a specific god, in particular, the seven gods after whom the sun, moon and planets were named. |
