Three calendars in one:
Jewish, Christian and Islamic
While the Christian (Gregorian) Calendar is the current universal calendar for the world, the Jewish (Hebrew) Calendar and the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar are also still in use today.

The People of the Book Calendar displays the coinciding date, month and year in each calendar. And it includes holidays and lunar phases.
