People of the Book Calendar

WHAT DAY IS IT?  IN WHICH CALENDAR?

While the Christian (Gregorian) Calendar is the current universal calendar for the world, many other calendars are also in use today, often for religious purposes. Among them are the Jewish (Hebrew) Calendar and the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar.

As these calendars differ in length of year, their corresponding dates are ever changing.

The current date in each calendar is displayed for you at the top of this website.

HOW DOES THIS CALENDAR WORK?

The People of the Book Calendar displays the date, month and year in each calendar side-by-side. It shows holidays and important dates in each calendar.

Dates, months, years and important dates are color-coded to make it really easy to distinguish them. Blue for Jewish. Red for Christian. Green for Islamic.

It also shows the current phase of the moon.
